House Martin Nests

About this product

House martins build nests constructed from mud under the eaves of buildings often in colonies averaging 5 nests. Unfortunately, changes to house construction and roof design mean that suitable nest sites have dramatically declined. Providing an artificial nest provides a great alternative and house martins will readily use artificial nests and encourage other birds to nest nearby.

These house martin nests are constructed from exterior grade plywood and WoodStone, a mixture of FSC wood fibres and concrete. The backing to the nests is exterior grade plywood, making them lightweight and easy to fit, but hard-wearing. These nests should be sited underneath the eaves on exterior walls of your house or outbuildings, at a minimum height of 2m above the ground.
