    blue-tits having problem entering nest box

    Most of the time he stays close. The box is strapped to a mature palm tree aprox 25ft high and like I said at one stage they were both constantly in and out feeding the chicks but now he seems to have lost the technique of getting himself through the entrance. I was tempted to fix a small slate...

    blue-tits having problem entering nest box

    Hi Delia Thanks for your post. The chicks are only six days old so nowhere near ready to leave the nest.

    Blue Tits Have Caught Me Out

    A pair of Blue Tits are showing interest in my nest box before I cleared out the old nest from last year. What should I do? leave well alone or remove the old nest?

    Blue Tits

    Does anyone know why Bluetits peck at the nest box entrance. Ive had Bluetits use the same box for the last five years and every time they start to build their nest Ive noticed this strange behaviour pattern. Its not as if the hole is too small because theyre in and out of the box all day.

    Newbie from the New Forest UK

    Just like to say Hi. I'm gradually getting hooked on what you guys call twitching (where ever did that terminology come from?) looking forward to asking loads of questions on the birds in my neck of woods. For instance can you tell me why a pair of Blue tits in my garden behave like demented...
