The forms of nesting boxes which I have myself hitherto adopted have been somewhat various. A single box and a form which has been used by Tits year after year is represented by Fig. Fig. 8.—Small Nesting Box, to he nailed to tree-trunk, suitable for and freely made use of by Titmice, at Kosehill, Cheadle. It is about a foot high by four inches wide and deep, the entrance hole being at the side, and the small alighting perch slightly lower, with large hinged door in front, secured by a lock or catch. Fig. 9, which is the family or compartment box, is a very convenient form for nesting boxes. It can be made about sixteen inches high by four.
