Thanks Paul - yeah I was joking, its all good! We got lucky in our first year bluetit box so probably got a bit complacent. I am working the "long game" with garden changes to attract birds and it is definitely working, but slowly. I can't believe how many birds visit the pond now and have also started foraging in the native hedge I put in 18 months ago. A few more years and our garden will have a lot more to offer than it did, and the boxes will be well established. Fingers crossed for next year 
I'll definitely get a sparrow terrace up though, without camera to start, as it will be interesting to see if it gets any use. Another bird we get a lot of is starlings, but they also seem to be hard to tempt. Must be honest, although I've seen starlings in our garden gathering nest materials I have absolutely no idea where they are nesting locally.
