Finally got around to a spring time project: a Welcome Swallow nesting box. Now we wait.

Hands holding a tung oiled ply bird house with dimensions around 20cm with an overhanging roof with surrounding ply lips to help with perching and shedding water. There are holes in the platform to allow drainage.

The house from another angle, mounted high on the outside of our house in a sheltered but accessible corner.

A view of the box in its location high on a sheltered external wall.

@lightweight Did it get any attention? Have been thinking about providing something, as the swallows turned up whenever I opened the garage door, and that was never gonna work out. By now they should all be settled in anyway.
