It was decided to put up the small bird boxes, because after putting up two bird feeders, we were inundated with them - mainly the Coal Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Robins, Chaffinches, and Blackbirds, the usually garden visitors. The pictures below show that the main feeding area is within the herb garden:
