The Common House Martin ( Delichon urbicum ), sometimes called the Northern House Martin or, particularly in Europe, just House Martin, is a migratory passerine bird of the swallow family which breeds in Europe, north Africa and temperate Asia ; and winters in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Asia.

The Common House Martin was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758 as Hirundo urbica, but was placed in its current genus Delichon by Thomas Horsfield and Frederic Moore in 1854.

In the past, the Common House Martin was sometimes considered to be conspecific with the Asian House Martin ( D. dasypus ), which breeds in the mountains of central and eastern Asia and winters in Southeast Asia, and it also closely resembles the Nepal House Martin ( D. nipalense ), a resident in the mountains of southern Asia.

The Common House Martin has two geographical subspecies, the western nominate subspecies D. u. urbicum, and the eastern D. u. lagopodum, which was described by German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas in 1811.

The adult Common House Martin of the western nominate race is 13 centimetres ( 5. 1 in ) long, with a wing span of 26 – 29 centimetres ( 10. 2 – 11. 4 in ) and a weight averaging 18. 3 grammes ( 0. 65 oz ).

The white rump and underparts of the Common House Martin, very noticeable in flight, prevent confusion with other widespread Palaeoarctic swallows such as the Barn Swallow ( Hirundo rustica ), Sand Martin ( Riparia riparia ) or Red-rumped Swallow ( Cecropis daurica ).

The Common House Martin flies with a wing beat averaging 5. 3 beats per second, which is faster than the wing beat of 4. 4 beats per second for the Barn Swallow, but the flight speed of 11 m • s < sup >− 1 </ sup > ( 36 ft • s < sup >− 1 </ sup >) is typical for hirundines.

The Common House Martin is a noisy species, especially at its breeding colonies.

The preferred habitat of the Common House Martin is open country with low vegetation, such as pasture, meadows and farmland, and preferably near water, although it is also found in mountains up to at least 2, 200 metres ( 7, 200 ft ) altitude.

It uses similar open habitats on the wintering grounds, but the Common House Martin is less conspicuous than wintering Barn Swallows, tending to fly higher and be more nomadic.

The Common House Martin is a migrant which moves on a broad-front ( i. e. European birds are not funnelled through the short sea crossings used by large soaring birds, but cross the Mediterranean and Sahara ).

The Common House Martin returns to the breeding grounds a few days after the first Barn Swallows ; like that species, particularly when the weather is poor, it seldom goes straight to the nesting sites, but hunts for food over large fresh water bodies.

The Common House Martin was originally a cliff and cave nester, and some cliff-nesting colonies still exist, with the nests built below an overhanging rock.

The Common House Martin tends to breed colonially, and nests may be built in contact with each other.

The company was badly hit by the economic contraction of the early 1980s as worldwide sales of Aston Martin shrank to three per week and chairman Alan Curtis together with fellow shareholders American Peter Sprague and Canadian George Minden came close to shutting down the production side of the business, to concentrate on service and restoration.

Gauntlett bought a 12. 5 % stake in Aston Martin for £ 500, 000 via Pace Petroleum in 1980, with Tim Hearley of CH Industrials taking a similar share.

As Aston Martin required greater investment, he also agreed to sell his share holding to American importer and Greek shipping tycoon Peter Livanos, who invested via his joint venture company with Nick and John Papanicalou, ALL Inc. Gauntlett remained chairman of the AML company 55 % owned by ALL, with Tickford a 50 / 50 venture between ALL and CHI.

Although as a result Aston Martin had to make 60 members of the workforce redundant, Gauntlett bought a stake in Italian styling house Zagato, and resurrected its collaboration with Aston Martin.
