New to Nest Boxes
There is no shortage of moss in my back garden. I recently went over the lawn with a scarifier and removed loads of moss. It is all dumped in behind the trees out of sight. But the birds do know where it is and use it to nest. Last year was the first year that birds other than collared doves... -

New Nesting Boxes

New to Nest Boxes
Thank you for the advice. Yes I think that is what has happened. I am so annoyed with myself. I had not put anything into the bird feeders for a few weeks up until then. Lesson learnt. I won’t make that mistake again. -

New to Nest Boxes
Thank you so much for the warm welcome. Yes May was very cold and wet. Although the Adult Blue Tits stopped flying into the nest box very suddenly. I fear that by putting out food in the bird feeder I attracted birds into the area which might have frightened them off. I am annoyed with myself... -

Hello, First post. I have a nice back garden with plenty of foliage and mature trees. Perfect for small birds. For the past few years I have put out a few different bird feeders and have enjoyed watching the various birds visiting and eating from the feeders. This year for the first time we had...
