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: Large rockfall at the bottom makes this route quite different at the start. Had to go right as initially as there simply isn't the same handholds there as before

βeta: There's been a rockfall which had made the first part of this climb much trickier plus there's now a long runout between (if I recall) the third and fourth bolt... I assume the missing bolt was on the section of rock that is now at the base of the crag
