Ha HA, right then, long timers may remember I built a bird box 2 or 3 years ago, I`m sure I posted on the old forum,

it`s had a lick of cuprinol (or similar) & I removed the bent wire & added a 4" screw just below the hole, & tonight, for the first time since, 2 bluetits have started nest building, the gaffer`s already on my case, wants me to move it incase her putting out washing right in front of it, or just us using the garden once eggs hatch or chicks may force them to abandon the clutch, I told her that moving it now would have just that effect, so, hopefully we`ll have chicks soon!
I built the wee thing from scratch, (& some scrap wood) so I`m really quite chuffed about this

Fantastic...I love hatching tits

the boss has already brushed our two collies coats to get a pile of hair, then made ME tuck it into the hole for nest building material for the birds, guys, this is turning into a chore, updates will be forthcoming, apparently we`re (I`m) now raising a clutch of Bluetits
bloody animal lovers, give me strength

You may have found a use for belly button fluff

Is that a lead lined roof?

No, it's some German rubberised matting, 25 yr guarantee apparently! I blagged it off a local job (walk through aquarium) where it was used on the otter 'Holt' roof, it has a material coat on back which got stuck to velcro strips & was a nightmare to fit, I just used staples on this!
