Submit a sighting: birds and/or nests – The Devon House Martin Project

In order to identify what sorts of places house martins like to use, and inform conservation measures, we first need to build up a good understanding of the current local distributions of nesting house martins across Devon. So we would like to collect as many nest records as possible.

If you spot a house martin nest anywhere in Devon, please use this page to report the location, number of nests and date.

In addition, it would be really helpful if you could also report sightings of birds at other times during their stay over the spring and summer months.

Location
Click on the map or drag the marker to set the nest location, or search for the address below.
Please place the marker as accurately as possible - you can move the map, zoom in to show individual buildings, and toggle between map and satellite view. The position of the marker is more important than the address below being exactly correct.
