Thanks Paul - me too! So many more bluetits in the garden over this winter compared to last, so fingers crossed. Lots of longtail tits as well, which is nice to see, although I know they don't use nest boxes.
Still getting the odd visit, but if the last two years are anything to go by I would expect things to ramp up soon.
Here's a short vid of a visit from a couple of days ago, and another this morning. Both to the same box - seems s/he took exception to a bamboo leaf that had somehow blown in the hole but was unable to extract it. Even a minor "wiggle" if my eyes aren't deceiving me.. not the first in the last few weeks, either. Oh - and I'm just putting the finished touches on box no. 5 which should go up in the next couple of days. I had a camera spare, so why not?
