I have a colony of House Martins nesting on my estate, and they seem to be creeping closer to my house each year. Last year a pair investigated the House Martin nest cup and seemed to investigate nesting in the eaves above my window. I've heard they can be encouraged to nest by providing mud

The RSPB are asking the public to protect House Martin nests by reporting anyone who removes them during the breeding season. House Martins can be seen building their almost spherical mud nests on the sides of houses or farm buildings, usually just under the eaves in a sheltered corner, or on a southerly facing wall to get the warmth of the sun.

The house martin is a common summer visitor to the UK, arriving in April and leaving in October. It builds mud nests, sometimes in small colonies, under ledges, on cliffs and, as their name suggests, under the eaves of houses.

BTO researchers plan to do this by fitting a tiny (shirt button-sized) device known as a geolocator to each bird. Weighing less than a gramme, the device contains a clock, a
