In the Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s 2024 Autumn/Winter Webinar programme, discover the wonderful world of house martins, their ecology, nests and how we can support them, with Martin Tickler.
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, returning to the same nest in years to come. Both males and females help to build the nest, collecting mud from streams and ponds and building up layers with bill-sized pellets. A nest can take them days to build, so reuse saves them a lot of work.
Long time supporter of the house martin, Martin, will share his passion for these birds, their life cycles and what is can be done to support them.
Tickets start at £3, and directly support the work of Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
