Hi I live in a house built 6 years ago and I was given a nestbox when I moved in. There was waste ground behind my house, it’s taken years but as the foliage covered the waste ground wildlife has moved in. I’d forgotten about the nestbox until I noticed a pair of blue tits had moved in this year.
Unfortunately the box has been ignored and unoccupied for 6 years so when I checked the box there is a decent size crack in the roof, should I do anything to cover it or should I just leave it until the birds are gone.
