NESTING BOXES

Here's some of our nest boxes. Last year, I renovated some of the boxes I'd bought in previous years. I picked a distinctive colour scheme for them. My wife says the birds will be terrified ! ( we'll find out this year)
There's also the Caravan box (complete with wheels and tow bar), which I made for any birds who want a holiday away from home, in our garden

The most likely takers for those type of boxes are Blue Tits and they are not fussy about the colour scheme. Further more their suitability test seems to have a pretty low pass threshold so you should be OK.

They look quite nautical
the caravan is brilliant, greg - I hope they won't tow it away - did you make it with a tin?

The roof is tin - the rest of it is plywood.

Is that a towel they've got hanging from the bathroom window?

The square one's the window. The white 'towel' is the door with a round hole for the birds.
I'm sure the Blue Tits were pairing up today, has anyone noticed any ?
