The box I put up in Winter 2003 has seen some activity these last two nights. At dusk I have seen a blue tit sit on the branch nearby to it - fidgeting for about 5 minutes - looking left, right, up and down - before flying in to the box.
When I have gone outside and the nightlight has come on - I can see a little of its face looking out through the hole checking to see what is out there.
Could anyone hazard a guess as to whether this bluetit is nesting - or just getting some warmth for the night?
I'm intrigued and also pleased that the box is getting some use.
