Bargain Bird Boxes

The garden at night

Its typical, there's me complaining about having the most nervous and elusive Robins on the planet just the other day and now, well for the last two days, they have been around constantly. One was even sunbathing just a couple of feet away from me on top of the compost bin yesterday.

My mum found two of these bird boxes at a car boot for only 50p, what a bargain. I know its a bit late in the year for them this year but putting them up now will give the birds plenty of time to get used to them and clock them ready for next spring.

I believe this fella is a new visitor to the garden. He's a lot smaller and slenderer than my resident Nuthatches, maybe he's one of this years chicks?
