    Following tits around? Those were the days... :whistle:

    Used to have some nesting around the boiler vent but I filled the gap the following year as I didn't really want the wall filled with guano. Keep meaning to make new homes

      It was that sort of behaviour which used to drive me crazy when I wanted to work near their nest box at the plot. They'd perch nearby but wouldn't go to the nest box in case I saw where their nest was, so I'd have to go for a walk before they'd feed their chicks. When got back it only seems like a few minutes before another one was back with a beak full of food and waiting for me to go away. I'd soon get fed up with that and find somewhere else to work. I then made the area next to the blue tit box over to Loganberries that hardly required any attention during breeding season.

          Some lovely photos there Armandii. Have moved the box to the little wilderness at the end of the garden, hopefully they'll be happy there.
