Y'know for two pins I'd put another one up .......
Still flushed with success that the one which was up for 7 years was occupied last season.

Yes, Nuthatch, I didn't move it. Just time, time, time .....

I've ordered another, from Amazon, and have chosen a place fairly adjacent to the existing one so in the next week or so I'll look out my Black 'n' Decker, the extension lead, selection of masonry drills, overalls, stepladder, safety goggles (sod that for a game of sojers), and a mug of strong tea .......
