Description
Sand martins are not typically known as nest box dwellers. However, these nest boxes can provide this species with an artificial nesting opportunity. Nest boxes can be placed in a homemade art wall or in the specially made art wall OW OZ 01.
Nest boxes are ideally used in the immediate vicinity of water or at large (construction) sites where excavation work is taking place, as swallows often try to nest in the large piles of sand. Installing an artificial wall in these situations offers sand martins a safe place to nest without disturbance.
