For Bluebirds?

No, they're only found over the white cliffs of Dover.

In other news I got a book yesterday with details of 101 Gins in it.

I have sampled a fair few of them previously however I feel I need to start again and add tasting notes.

I see gin has returned to the UK Office of National Statistics' consideration , Apparently it has made a comeback.

@Hill Wimp , @hopless500 ,I think your nations' distillers owe you both a complimentary gift basket for your efforts in this regard.

[QUOTE 4725456, member: 9609"]No such birds here but I guess you mean Blue Tits ?

I have used 3 different size holes that will make them suitable for different species, cavity nesting type birds like holes that a tight squeeze to get into, which pretty much means larger birds can't get in and eat them or evict them.

25mm = Blue Tits / Coal Tits
28mm = Tree Sparrows, Great Tits
32mm = House Sparrows, Nut Hatches

Eviction does happen too, last year we watched a couple of blue tits having a torrid time, they first set up a nest in a 25mm hole, for some reason two House sparrows arrived and even though they could not get into the hole they stopped the blue tits using it - they then went on to establish a nest in a 28mm hole and were at the stage where she was sitting, two Great Tits arrived and evicted them and raised their own young - not sure what the Blue tits did then - Its a hard life.[/QUOTE]

We put such boxes out for these, Eastern Bluebirds, here in the States. Getting a bit uncommon, but doing better locally.

Distinctly grey over the cliffs today, I've just cycled over them.

I hope not. I hear it's a long way to the bottom.
