Quick question Paul re: sparrow box. I am planning to use the old box from the new sideview location. Hole is 32mm, inside is 12x12cm. Big enough? Hopefully I'll get a lick of paint on the outside of the old box and have it installed with a new camera in the next week.
Also think I might cobble together a starling box for the other(!) hole in the wall (other side of house) that had a starling nest last year. Will do the same and just cover the hole with the box. Need to look up dimensions for this one and see what sort of scrap wood I have lying about. This one is in an awkward position for a camera since it will be hard to get a cable to it, but I might try it without camera for a year and, if it gets occupied, work something out for the season after.
