Description of study site Ca 5000 ha area in the surroundings of Kilingi-Nõmme (small town ca 2500 inhabitants) in SW Estonia. Core area is town (sub-urban area with gardens and forest patches) located in center of study  area. In surroundings of the sub-urban area the nest boxes  were arranged in lines in different habitats. The area is situated in the transition zone from a base-rich moraine plateau to base-poor sedimentary sand dunes and peatland forests. Various forests in the area can be divided into two types –deciduous and coniferous . Deciduous woodlands occur mainly as isolated patches between cultivated fields or as belts along stream valleys. These mostly unmanaged woods grow on fertile soils and have a rich deciduous understorey. Grey alder and silver birch  are the predominant tree species, with an age of about 40–50 years. The coniferous habitat represents managed pine forests on nutrient-poor sandy or (in the lower parts of the terrain) peat soils. The dominant tree species is Scots pine  (with an age of about 60–80 years), which sometimes forms mixed stands with Norway spruce  (on sandy soil) or downy birch  (on peat soil).
