Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.
MATERIAL: Recycled LDPE plastic board with resin/concrete nest cup (including a drainage hole).
CONSTRUCTION: Nest cup fixed to backboard with stainless steel screws
DIMENSIONS (MM): 130 x 270 x 100
WEIGHT (KG): 0.9
SPECIES: House Martin
SITING: 2 keyholes and further fixing hole at the base for added stability. The nest should be positioned beneath the eaves of the building at a minimum height of 2m. The Eco House Martin Nest is easy to fix to your wall; it slots over two screws with a third hole at the base for securing it in place.
House martins often prefer to nest on the east or north-facing walls but walls in any direction may be used. When siting your nest, it is best to avoid locations over windows and doors as droppings will tend to build up beneath active nests.
These boxes can be installed in groups to encourage colonies to form, as the house martins are sociable birds.
Be sure to locate the boxes where droppings won't matter!
MAINTENANCE: Maintenance-free
