Hi, can anyone advise if it's ok to install a house Martin nest to a bungalow eves or is a bungalow roof too low? Many thanks for any advice you can give.

Thank you kindly. I didn't know which one to go to

Google has lots of information about siting the nest boxes/cups. They need a minimum height of 2 metres from the ground.

I've seen House Martins nest successfully 2-3m above the ground next to a busy pedestrian walkway in Wapping, London, so I'd say they're relatively tolerant

They used to regularly nest under the eaves of Bungalows along from where I grew up. Sadly from skies full of House martins they've declined there to barely a sighting.
