Endangered Yellow Wagtails are currently nesting on Butt Hole Scoundrels - Fr. 6b+ (Line 3 on SWCW). Please avoid climbing in the Scoundrels Cave area until the end of September, and keep an eye out for others until then. 

They migrate from Africa to the UK around March till September, so will hopefully be on their way by October.

βeta: The rock around the traverse right is VERY hollow sounding. It's a huge block and doesn't look stable at all. Be careful there

βeta: There’s a loose block/jug to the right and level with the chains. Looks like it could be pulled off with little effort so watch out.

βeta: Found no wobbly jug anchor so it may have met it's demise, quite friable up there so be careful
