I can only say that we've had them nesting in a box on a South facing trellised fence, Ivy grows there and there are trees very close by. They've come into our garden for past 3 years. Think the box may be on one of my garden photos if that helps.

Ah yes, thanks Megan. I wonder if the ivy and close trees are the secret of your success more than the south facing aspect.......My walls are pretty bare, although I do have a young wisteria and on a south west facing wall, so that might be the spot!

Go for it !

Hopefully get one tomorrow if I can get out....will take a picture if I get one!

Hey, you've morphed into a canine . . . how did you do that ? lol

Ha ha! Just changed my avatar. go to 'update your profile' from your homepage! Haven't got a birdbox yet, I've succumbed to a virus and been housebound since thursday! Hopefully tomorrow though!

Sorry to hear that, get well soon. : o ) )

Thanks Megan! How do you feel about orange roses? David Austen has some crackers! My favourites so far are Summer song (not really orange, verges on red), Lady Emma Hamilton, Pat Austin and Lady of Shallott....

I'll take a look later, still not into orange though ! Are you feeling better now ?

Thanks Megan! I am a lot better, just a horrible cough now. Walked the dog 8 miles today, so I can't complain!
