    Hi Folks
    Being having plenty of tits, finches etc at my bird table this year so put up a nest box last month (decent position on a big Ash tree and high enough out of the way of potential predators.

    Just wondering have people had much success with Nest boxes? I.e if conditions are right how likely is it to be used? Sorry bit of an open ended question I know...

    If you have it facing North East and at the right height (1.5 to 2 metres) I don't see how you can fail. All mine are used every year.
    Best of luck with it.:)

    I found that if the entrance hole is any bigger than 32mm, It was not used, But 32mm and you will get blue and great tits. I put a wireless infrared camera into mine this year, not hard to do and cost less than 50 euro. I was able to watch the whole thing on my tv ! If you are interested, I will find the link for the cams and would be glad to assist you in setting it up.
    Regards Mark
