I can't find anywhere that tells me how to do this
I have several medium sized trees in a woody area which I think is the
best site - and I have 2 boxes ( not sure what they are but they don't
have round holes so I suppose they're bat boxes) & I can't see how
they're fixed

Is it Ok to nail/screw - I'd prefer not to - & if not then how?

I have a shed with eaves which is quite high off the ground - but is it
an issue under the eaves where things can reach down from the roof? (
they could get access via next door's oak tree)

Bat boxes are usually small flattish things with a tiny crack underneath
(bats have very small heads and bodies) so my bet is you've got an opening
on the front about 10-15cm square or rectangular? Good for robins and a
bunch of other species. BTO do a fanatastic book on nestboxes, and RSPB have
info too
