The photo was taken during the early nineties, and the bird box was set on my garden shed. The size of the hole could suggest that the bird was a Great Tit.

Philip, I think the hands have fallen off your cuckoo clock!
It can't be that Great a Tit if it'll fit through that little hole.
I'll stop now before I get in trouble.

DTease: Yes I don't blame you, but I wish I had a fiver for every one I met.

Like 'the hands' bit DTease - and the 'Tit bit', of course.

I remember seeing one or two of them fluttering up and down inside the box as there day approached, and seeing three or four actually leave. I'm not sure if this bird had seventeen brothers and sisters, but eighteen eggs in this box had been noticed.

I'm o.k., John yet feeling the loss of Graham Warrington. At dinnertime, today, many of Claremont Road had stood at their 'fronts' to pay him their last respect by clapping and waving, as he went by. He played football for Hindley Celtic; Managing, later, in Billinge.

That could be a stuffed bird, i'm not saying it is though.
