I have been seeing a lot of nestbox activity recently, especially Blue Tits. I put up some more hole nestboxes and they were being checked out a lot. They are very good quality ones too. They are now being ignored and a smaller, not so good box is getting all the attention!
Also, Blue Tits have been nesting in our House Martin nest cups. They are now very rarely checking out the nesting sites and more interested in a slit in the tiles on the side of our house! - in full sun!
Does anyone know why they are favouring worse quality potential nesting sites to good nestboxes sited in appropriate areas? Is there anything I can do?
