Blue Tit

[Loch not Lock]

I have put up a tit nesting box. What is the chance of it being used in Thurso?

There is a good chance if you have them in your garden and the nest box is in the right place. I am no expert but look for tips on the web about positioning.

I have some nesting boxes up too but the starlings are very interested in trying to get into them but the holes look too small. Should I leave the holes the size they are so that the starlings go find somewhere else to live or should I make the holes bigger so that the starlings can squat in the tit boxes for the spring?
