Little buggers tried that here!

Wrens; they really are master builders.

It's pied wagtails here (I think). Last time they nested in the handle bar muffs of my quad! Blackbirds nested in the tractor. Offcially, I don't think we are allowed to mess with them once they've laid which can make life a bit difficult!

Glad to say that the barn owls are back in the barn having been missing for 3 years or so.

All the above choose to come and live here with me.
Glad to have them.

Handlebar muffs sounds like a luxury nesting spot.

Well, I hope I've fixed the little...squatters! I put up about another 30 nest boxes! They've no excuse now. Bloody sparrows are sh!tting all over my tractor and tool bench..... Oh, well.

I have robins that regularly nest in the most awkward places in the barn. There's several spots that are ideal for them that wouldn't bother me, but no, they have to pick somewhere like the linbin of spare lynch pins. I don't mind putting up with a bit of robin poo as they are beautiful and full of character, unlike the pigeons that seem to delight in leaving as much crap as possible all over the place.

Good to know they’re useful for something. Bloody danger on a quad

Pied wagtails. The best birds on the planet. Make me smile everytime I see them.
