    I put a bird box on my balcony for a couple of years noticed blue tits checking it out each year since then never saw them again must of found a better home it obviously wasnt secluded and private enough for them, still it was nice to see them 2 years running.

    They usually prefer north facing boxes so their nest doesn't get too hot.

    Lovely, lively birds aren't they?
