A bluetit decided to check out one of our boxes today. It stayed on the roof for about six seconds, then perched on the hole for nearly 1½ minutes looking all around, took a peep inside, looked around the outside once more and went in. It stayed inside for about 45 seconds, then off it went - and there were no further visits. Malcolm creosoted the back gate yesterday (with cresote substitute, of course) - and the smell is everywhere, so perhaps the bird didn't fancy that!
