House Martin Nest Box
Not only will House martins (which are a semi-colonial species) use the artificial nests, but the presence of one or two of them will encourage natural nest building close by or even built against the artificial nest.

| FAQ Title 1 | What makes this nest more suited to House martins than other birds? |
| FAQ Content 1 | It’s specifically designed for them, and it’s very unlikely any other species of bird would use it. |
| FAQ Title 2 | What time of year can I expect to find House martins or other birds nesting in this product? |
| FAQ Content 2 | House martins return to the UK from Africa during April, though unlike most summer visitors to our shores they do not necessarily start breeding immediately. So it could be a month or more before a nest is in use, though despite this often late start many House martins still manage to raise two broods. |
| FAQ Title 3 | Where is the best place to position the House Martin Nest Box? |
| FAQ Content 3 | Site the House Martin Nest right underneath the eaves of your house or out-building, as this will be the same place as the species would build a natural nest. |

Swallows have just arrived so house martins should follow soon. Fingers crossed they take up residence. Solidly constructed and natural looking.

Looks realistic enough to me, the proof will be later in year when the martins return!

I would have appreciated the description in English and information as to the best siting. My indication of 5 points doesn't seem to have registered

I seem to have to put more up each year as the poor house martins own nest half way built fall off the brandstone wall. We seem to have a great success with the double nest box.

The House Martin Box arrived very prompt I look forward to seeing our lodgers arrive and hope the birds appreciate it as their last one fell apart

Well made and complete with all items necessary for installation. Very easy to fix to wall, although quite heavy. Yet so see if House Martins like it!

Sturdy construction and relatively easy to install. Would have liked to know or been given the choice of where the entrance was sited i.e. right side/left side/ or central.

I bought these for my sons birthday but had a quick look before I wrapped them. They look very strong and of good quality, I am very happy with the product.

Double house Martin nest box arrived next day, and looks to be very well made and of good materials, let’s just hope we get some interest come next spring.
