Hi has anyone had success this year with bluetits nesting. I’ve had lots of interest in both boxes but no nesting. Could it be the weather?

No, there hasn't been any nesting in my box. But the occasional one has been feeding on the peanut hanging feeder.
 
Welcome to Birdforum. I hope you enjoy your visits.

Maybe it's a regional thing. Here in Hampshire, both our blue tit nest boxes are is use.

We have had successful fledglings in the last 3 years and lots of interest in February and March of this year from the birds but sadly no nesting activity
 
Hi Di16 and welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I think you will find us a friendly and helpful group.
 
I've got 3 nestboxes with half built Blue Tit nests in at work so should be time yet. Blue Tits seem.to be really random about using nestboxes even when you have followed all the instructions I.e size of box/ hole and siting. The one in my garden hasn't been touched despite Blue Tits being the most common visitor

I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

I have a livecam in my nest box. They just started building the nest and laying the eggs.
