Nest Boxes.

[Tilly2]

It's that time of year and the birds are looking for nesting boxes. My resident blue tits have been duffing up the chaffinches in their squabble over the nest boxes.

Can I just urge those of you who do not have nest boxes in your garden, to put one up, if you have the space.

Left a brick out of the garage wall while re-pointing and a platform in the roof space. The robins live in old walking boots and the platform will sound like the 3rd World War has broken out come Spring.

Tilly - it was reduced from aout £40 to £20 but that was in the middle of adult. If I spot anymore I will let you know, your might get lucky as Aldi seems to be selling outdoor/garden stuff this week.

About ^ and January (don't know what happened there).

Thank you , sherr. I would love a nest box with a camers. Are they complicated to install?

[sherrardk]

It came ready made with a very long cable - we haven't got the cable running between the two yet but you just plug one end into the outside of the box and the other into the telly.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, again, Sherr.

I've tried nest boxes but there are too many 'king cats that come into my garden. My daughter has had success in her garden including a great tit that nested in the pond filtration box.

You need a dog to keep the cats at bay, rusty.
Nice little story about the great tit. I like that.

I'm tempted by one of these type of cameras which are wireless - fun for the grandkids (or is it for me!!!!) May have to modify or build new nest box to accommodate.

I've just been through some traffic lights where a mistle thrush is nesting on the amber light.
