Just a few pics of a new nest box I put up at the start of the year. I'm happy to report a pair of Blue Tits making regular visits at the moment. I had another box much higher up that never got used so this one is situated a lot lower down on the wall. Hopefully things will go a bit better this year. The photos were taken using a remote control so as not to disturb the birds, although they seem quite happy to come and go as we’re moving about in the garden.
And one more from further away at the other side.

Thanks guys, we're keeping our fingers crossed for a successful season this year.
good stuff Paul! Hours of entertainment there! Hope they do well! Last 2 pics are my fave!
Cheers, Jason
Thanks Jason, it's nice to see them taking nesting material in. I could watch them for hours.
Lovely snaps Paul. It is nice to see them use the box. I have had 2 up in the trees for a few years now, one for the tits and one with a rectangle opening. They have never been used. Will move them round a bit to face another way. Read somewhere they should face a certain direction.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks Catlady. I think it's advised to site a nest box facing north to east. I hope you have success this year with your boxes.
