 |
| This year has started with a bang as we have
a pair of Blue Tits already starting a nest, they started nesting in
December |
|
 |
| This year has started with lots of Snow,
this has brought in some unusual visitors, one of which is this
Fieldfare, eating all our apples. Two
Roosters in box 1 and 2 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| Two roosting Tits is a good way to start off
the new year. This year we have installed a new type of bird box
camera, with modified lenses, giving low level views of the whole
box. |
|
 |
Two more roosting Tits to start the year with. This year
perhaps the weather will be the biggest story, will the birds have
another fight to survive. Will we get a family of hedgehogs. We cant
wait |

|
 |
| The first year we used high res. cameras. 11
eggs were laid, but due to bad weather only eight hatched and survived
up to the females disappearance |
|
 |
| The Blue tit parents deserted the nest and
my wife and I decided to hand rear them. You can follow the story from
the point of desertion by clicking the link |

 |
| The new colour camera gave good quality
pictures. 11 eggs were laid and all 11 successfully fledged, a great
year. follow the story with lots of video by clicking this link |
|
 |
| Follow the comings and goings of the many
hedgehogs that live in and around our garden. We have a Hedgehog box
and often have either a short stay or a Hibernating Hedgehog |
|

|
 |
| The BW camera gives a reasonable picture,
but we hope to go colour next year10 eggs laid this year, 1 egg fails
to hatch and 1 chick dies. the remaining 8 chicks successfully fledge |
|
 |
| We have been keeping a picture diary of the
many different visitors to our quite small garden in the New Forest,
Hampshire UK You can look at these by

|
 |
| This is the start, our curiosity gets the
better of us and we start to monitor a nesting blue tit box.
unfortunately terrible weather means the chicks all die. we vow this
will not happen again. |
|
 |
| We had forgotten about a bird box we had
installed in a bush. Imagine our surprise when we saw a robin Charging
in and out. We then discovered the nest with eggs already laid |
