I remember as a kid finding and then visiting a bullys nest regular and the female remained on the nest when I got close. She even let me stroke her while sat there.

I found one few yrs ago right on side of a track that was regularly  used by ramblers and it was a successful brood

“Build it and they will come” no need for material, the birds will sort it. This is in one of my towers in work. Pied Wagtail. It was coming in every year causing a right mess with its nest and shitting everywhere, so I put a box up over the entrance where it was coming in
