Hi bought a new nest box and put it up on a birch tree on Sunday and on Monday morning two blue tits where checking it out, I know that it will probably take a good 12 months or so before it gets used but it still was so exciting to see a little bird perch on the entrance having a look in, at least they know its there.
They had built a nest but now I see that they've taken it apart, shame
If only I could be free as the birds the places I could visit would be out of this world
Hi Polly,
You're right, it is exciting! - keep us posted!

Hi Polly
Some bluetits take to boxes straight away Good luck
Ray
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Fingers crossed for you and the Blue Tits Polly.
I put three up at the end of last summer but I dont think I have any takers yet :-(
I managed to photograph some Bullfinches last week in the UK. I was only over for 3 days so a real rush but managed to get the Bullfinches which made it worth while.

Doesn't appear to be any taker's for the box perhaps they were just house hunting and found something better, still there's next year and I will be putting up more boxes in the mean time.
Must just say, yesterday Saturday the 9th my hubby had been gardening and was taking a well earned rest on a lounger, as he sat there a little sparrow perched on the headrest and was looking a hubby's hair I did wonder if he thought it was nest material lol, the little bird sat there for what seemed like ages and then he flew off.
There's only so long you can play "statues" and hold your breath
