Sighting a Nest Box

I am about to put a nest box on a tree. The position is correct according to the advice given. However, the tree already has a Magpie nest at the top of the tree (about 20ft higher) Will that matter?
  • Magpies are definitely partial to raiding a nest for both eggs and chicks, however they probably cannot access a nest box with a small entrance so this probably won't happen. Their presence may still put off any other birds from using it though so it might be a bit of an experiment to see what happens....I guess there are no guarantees!
