Ahh Nick we have a glut of sparrows...they have no problem getting in our eaves!!! and next door has an interesting chicken wire contraption to protect them from the sparrowhawk (that sometimes sits on our fence) getting them out the honeysuckle!!!

We've got some boxes up now - and previously had some birds, including a pair of blackbirds, that I've now addicted to sultanas, nesting when we moved into this place. But we had to chop down the clematis montana housing the blue tits that was destroying the flat roof, and move another that the blackies were in.

I'll watch out for the spotted fly's as I'm sure the big beech trees opposite had some last year.
