Description: | House martins look similar to swallows, but are smaller and more agile in the air, flying higher and faster. Originally, they would have nested in more rocky, mountainous environments to the swallow. However, as their name suggests, they have been quick to take advantage of the growth in urban areas. Where there are plenty of insects, house martins will build their mud nests, even in housing estates or city centres, where they nest on walls and under window ledges.
