Vivara House Martin Nest
"Partner had to put up wooden pattresses as the angles of one of the boxes wasn't exactly 90degrees and it made the fitting more secure. The actual nest is only glued onto the fitted backboard and the item itself is very heavy so I'm hoping that it won't dislodge over time and fall down & hurt someone passing underneath? I also smoothed off the entrance edges with a nail file just because I didn't like to scratchiness of the finish. CON: we CAREFULLY made countersunk holes in the cement type material as one of the fixing screws was situated at the entrance hole and would have hampered the exit of the birds (saw some on Ebay for sale with the backboard cracked so presume others had tried to do the same and failed) PRO: This was the only make I could find that had a choice of left or right entrance holes (may make a difference to whether the birds choose a box that has wind from a certain direction?) Can't confirm whether they are a success as put up too late for this year's Martins. Seller: 5* Items packaged well and dispatched quickly."
