So pleased I have your endorsement BB, that means alot :-) Looks a bit congested here but there is a direct flight path. John has hinged the tops so they can be cleaned out easily :-)

~ have you got a plan for making them Dawn>?Might try it although I think we are so near the woods etc that they will find enough without..There were two magpies with a nest when I was out with the dogs earlier this week.I heard the woodpecker this morning but still not seen~sooner or later!

Thanks Everyone! The design was taken from the fabulous book that BB put me onto at Christmas - BTO Garden Birds and Wildlife. I've never had any open fronted boxes before. Apparently they appeal to the wrens, robins, thrushes and pied wagtails. John made them out of recycled wood so didnt cost much - except for time, lol.
Arlene: Do you hear the woodpecker pecking or calling. We hear the green woodpecker - a very distinct sound.
