I do wonder actually if part of the reason we have seen a bit of a decline in nests for our members this year is that there are so many other nest boxes out there now? It seems to be a real "thing" now, with the RSPB imploring everyone to put up a box and seeing boxes for sale in all the supermarkets and DIY shops. Certainly around here I don't reckon we have more than one pair of bluetits per 3-4 gardens, so if everyone puts a box up.. I wonder how big their territories are?
Some interesting stuff in this thread anyway. I think I will go for a slightly smaller internal size and thicker wood (currently 12mm - will go 18mm or bigger) and then just keep my fingers crossed next year
