I've recently moved into a house from a flat and i'm currently making up for lost time !!
Bought some schwegler nestboxes,round hole and open faced and i've sited them facing north east and at a height of about 6 feet.So far so good but my question is this,can i site a round hole for blue/great tits close to (say 5 feet away from) an open faced box to be used by robins/blackbirds or whatever else fancies moving in ??
Also in case anybody is interested i'm getting greenfinch/chaffinch/goldfinch/bullfinch/nuthatch/coal tits/blue tits/great tits/long tailed tits/robins/dunnocks/blackbirds/great spotted woodpecker and 2 extremely curious and alarmist magpies who seem to spend their waking hours on guard duty.
This morning i was alerted by their calling and saw a fox creeping out of the hedge !!
