Blue Bird House

24/4/2008

Hurrah! I’ve got new neighbours! A couple of blue tits have set up home in the nesting box I made a few months back. I thought I’d placed the box too near the back door of my house and the birds wouldn’t come near.

However, a few weeks back, I noticed that there were some feather’s sticking out of the bottom drainage holes but I had to wait a few more days before I caught them coming in and out. The apple tree provides a rich source of food for them as I found out last year watching them feed from my bedroom window. I have got another box up in the other apple tree that is designed to house tree-creepers but not seen any action there yet. 

I have a couple of communal nest boxes ready for the house sparrows which are hanging around the front garden. I just need to get them up on the wall.

Anyone who wants to knock up some boxes like this should check out the BBC website for detailed instructions how to go about it, including siting information. Click HERE to go to the page.
