We had robins nest in a bag of prunings that I forgot to take to the tip !!! when I went to move them there were 4 chicks in there so it had to wait a wile longer!

You don't need a lot of cover SBP, stick some boxes up for blue tits (not in full sun as it gets too hot) & they'll soon move in. Robins will soon make use of open fronted nestboxes. I've even know spotted fly catchers to nest in hanging baskets !!

One thing you can put up is a sparrow house as most people have sealed the roof space off where these used to breed & roost hence the decline in house sparrows. We get a couple of pairs nest in out roof most years. I have thought of setting up a web-cam but till now I haven't had the broadband connection.
