lurcherboy Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Sundays are a bit of a loss at the moment now that the ferretting has come to an end. I can shoot clays/pigeon but that only takes up some of the day, and the Moto GP and superbikes only lasts for a few hours, what I am trying to say is I need more things to do. So after a walk in the woods tonight with the curs, I was wondering about all the different bird calls I heard and that got me to check out a website that FM posted ages ago. It's called http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/ there were a few I recogised and loads I didn't. It also had a section about making birdboxes and where to locate them etc. Do any of you do this, and if so, has it been successful?

the pelt man Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 yes & yes TiTs are now building there nests. old seasoned wood is the best, untreated or painted. if your going to put any up you best do it this w-end or you will be to late.

Ferret Master Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi, Do it now! Don't believe the **** about birds not going in them for a year after they have been put up. When I was 10 I put a box we had made earlier in the day up in the tree and by 8:30 the following morning Blue tits had moved in. We also have Blue Tits nesting in the nestbox in the back garden.
