Thanks BB, I'll tell him. I have lots of ivy but not any thick enough to really tuck the boxes in, but we'll see!

Thanks everyone.
TT: The design has been taken from the British Trust For Ornithology Garden Birds and Wildlife - wow that's a bit of a mouthful. BB put me on to this wonderful book at Christmas.
Catfinch: No the UK robin eggs are whitish cream colour, with a scattering of reddish-brown spot, accordiong to the book.

I have read that our robins can have a nest box built as well but it would have to be mch bigger than yours ...more like a platform I would think..lol..
Our Robins lay a very blue egg..it is an actual color they will put on color charts sometimes called Robins Egg Bue...

Hi Marion, dont think we have any residents yet in the boxes but lots of chasing going on between the birds so fingers crossed. I'll go over and check out your robin pics now. :-)
