Last year a woodpecker attacked a blue tit's nest in the bird box below. Click here to see the blog entry of the attacker in action.
This year I have covered the damaged box with old roof tiles, held on with a length of wire.
Not a pretty job, but it remains to be seen whether a blue tit nests here again and if it is safe from woodpecker attack.
Update 23 May 2013. A pair of bluetits have been flying in and out regularly now for a couple of weeks. So I guess there are a lot of baby birds in there now. Success.
