As always I can't help you exactly but I'm interested in the outcome
and can contribute an anecdote.
There's a tree near home that a Tawny roosts in sporadically, and I
can find no correlation between when it uses it and not. It might
sleep there every day for a week, then disappear for months, then back
again for a day, and gone again. I suspect they're intelligent and
slightly skittish creatures with a good connection with what's going
on around them. Maybe they're easily spooked and move on after some
sort of disturbance. Perhaps the same mechanism occurs with nesting
sites?
