Tempting in the birds

[British Red]

I love birds

I have a passion for raptors but even a blue tit is a joy. So I spent the day putting up nest boxes around the new place. Interesting how each species needs a different shape. Anyone care to guess the species each is for?

Number 1

Red

 

[g4ghb]

Owl? (tawny perhaps?)

 

[Mesquite]

Kestrel...?

Don't really have a clue Red, looks quite long .
I'll guess Robin just because of what looks like an open front.

 

[British Red]

There are five to guess in total

Here is number 2

Number 3

Red,

I'll take a few guesses

1) Tawny Owl
2) Barn Owl
3) Kestrel
4) depends on hole size - but Great Tit or Pied Flycatcher
5) a few possibilities - Robin or Wren but others will use it

I put 25 boxes in our wood a few years ago and I think around 15 have been regularly used.

Cheers,

Three and a half out of five so far

I need to put some more up too Broch but given the timing I thought it best to get up what we have!


I have to find out what I can do for thrushes next
