My son and I built a next box and put it in the garden. It isn't hard (even for a software engineer like me). We have now had several generation of blue tits nest there. A few points: -The size of the entrance hole is important, depending on what sort of bird you want. -The orientation relative to the sun is important. -Don't put a peg below the hole. Birds (bluetits anyway) don't need it and it may give purchase for predators. -The birds seem to like having some twigs thay can land on near the box. So don't cut back all the foliage around it.
