Blackbird's Momma!
There are only two places we can actually put a nestbox in our garden (due to tall shrubs and unavailable surfaces to nail them on to). One faces South but I think that would be too hot- the other faces West which I think would be ideal as every year for about 8 years, bluetits have nested in a neighbours nestbox that faces West. However, the only fence panel we can get to that faces West is right next to the tree where the feeders hang, and I read somewhere not to place boxes near feeding stations as if the birds chose to nest in them, they'd have a hard time defending the territory from visiting birds.
So, no nestboxes for my garden then? If so, never mind, the blackbirds have been nesting consistently for the past couple of years, they had five broods last year! o
