Great Tit leaves  ´óÏó´«Ã½ nestboxA couple of years ago we encouraged everyone to put up nestboxes in and around their home, school or place of work. We even had some special ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Gloucestershire nestboxes produced to give away to the lucky few ... I remember a rather manic saturday at Stroud Farmers Market for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ team!

Birds being birds, they prefer a well weathered in box ... so has the nestbox you put up had a fledgling family in recent weeks... or has some residents right now?

Of course the birds might have ignored your nestbox altogether and made a home somewhere else. The breakfast show team have blackbirds in the hedge, wrens in the hanging basket and Great Tits in a slightly battered ´óÏó´«Ã½ nestbox... whilst I recall there are Peregrine Falcons that .

Email me with what's living with you at home or alongside you at work.

Thanks for the emails and comments on today's show. Places our feathered friends have found include cigarette disposal machines at Bracelands in the Forest...wellies...car hub caps... raincoats... and in traffic lights at Purton!
