    A couple of the usual blue tits that visit my garden were eating at the feeder this morning, and one of them flew across the garden and onto the nest box I made recently,he looked from left to right and up and down before clinging onto the hole in the box and peeping in quickly,and then flying away there was pigeons around so I think they made him nervous.

    Is it too early for the blue tits to seek out a nest-box?

    Certainly too early - even for a Winter roost. It was probably looking to see if there were any spiders or bugs in the new "hole" in a tree.

    Thanks for the reply, at least it knows about it now, and hopefully it will remember to use the box for its nest when the time is right. :)
