Just a quick update, this morning at 8.15am a Bluetit went in my sideview box and did a couple of wiggles!, now the males iv had in the past (not personally that is 
) have always done the wiggles first, as if sizing it up so as not to waste time bringing any females if it’s not suitable. Now I’m not holding my breath (I couldn’t anyway!) but the female was flitting around the garden looking for small bugs, all this at the same time as a pair of greatits which was also doing exact same flitting thing! Both pairs came on the patio and came so close to my open door I was afraid that they may take flight in wrong direction & fly in, so I closed the door & obviously they all flew off 
My roosters I had have both gone now, bluetit went a while ago, & greatit left a few nights ago, came back for one night then went again, so I left a note in there like my mum once did for my brother (when he was very young) who used to come & go at all hours, it read “Stop treating this house like a hotel, you either live here or you dont, make a choice!!!” 
Obviously the greatit made the choice & left! My brother, however, stayed because he knew where his bread was buttered!! (Does anyone know what I mean by that or is it just a Hull thing? 
)
Anyway, good luck to all who have nests, I’m very jealous
