Swift nest boxes (1 Viewer)

Wha Whassssat
Im looking for designs for swift nest boxes. Looking for designs that have been known to work. Nothing too extravagant as I will be making 10 too 20 of these nest boxes.

Cheers Gerard.
 
I haven't used this design, but it looks easy enough to make and I have hopes of attracting Violet-green Swallows with it. I hear the secret is the placement of the boxes, it has to look like a nest site was already there. This has been my problem with swallow boxes, I'm still looking for the right place. They come to visit, but so far no takers. Good Luck and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the reply, I will make a few in that design and hopefully I will get some swifts. I will post up how I get on.

Regards Gerard.
