Just had a Blue Tit giving serious consideration to a Tit Box we put

Don't know about serious, but a BT has visited my box recently and prompted
me to clean it out (with sterilising boiling water) in case there were some
hungry parasites in there waiting for just such a visitation to get a new
host. I've seen it in previous years too.

It might be because the day-length is similar to that in Spring and they
have not noticed that days are shortening instead of lengthening. I don't
think you'll see any interest until the weather is bad enough to justify
their roosting in the box.
