Three variants are available: The oval shaped entrance makes it ideal for Tree Sparrows, House Sparrows, Nuthatches, Great Tits, Redstarts, and Blue Tits, with House Sparrows and Redstarts preferring them to traditional round-hole nest boxes. Bats are also likely to be attracted to the shape of the nest box and its entrance.

Out of stockSand Martins will usually excavate tunnels in soft sand beside rivers or lakes, with a nesting chamber at the far end. Because of this, manmade options for assisting breeding have traditionally been difficult to achieve. Sand Martins are also vulnerable during wet summers as their waterside nests may be flooded, or even destroyed by natural erosion. This specially designed Sand Martin nest box is made of Ecoplate, a durable board made from recycled car seats, before being lined with WoodStone (a mix of wood fibres and concrete). When used in the right location, this combination of materials and design will deliver excellent breeding results as well as ensuring a long useful life for the nest box.
