Is that your flat roof gardenature box Tommie?
I am only asking because they are my most popular boxes for nesting each spring, So be interesting if you already have nest material in one in a different country.

Very interesting Tommie,
My flat roof boxes are by far my most popular, I don't know what they seem to love about them but they do!
Keep us posted very good start having a female bringing in material already!

This morning a great woodpecker was trying this box out ! You can see some little damage a few cm above the entrance hole. Luckily she/he was gone after a few attempts to make the hole bigger.

Hi there, hope everybody is OK,
Little update from the Netherlands-greattit-birdbox. Two months ago a male great tit took over the box from the female. Interesting to see. No more cleaning and a lot of poo in the box now.Now waiting for the return of the female. I think the end of february, begin March she will take over the box again

Good luck for 2021. Interestingly my 'roosting box' seems to have a couple of change overs between a male and female. Female is in now so it's spotless.😊

Last week some blue tits were interested in taken over the box. No chance for them. The great tits are stronger and I havent seen the blue ones anymore. Sometimes I think of putting a 28mm plate on the box. I have had always great tits all past years so why not going for a pair of blue tits, perhaps nex year? (I only have a little balcony)
