2009 Diary   2010 Diary  
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.

2007 Diary   2008 Diary  
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
2006 Diary   Handreared  
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

2003 Diary

   Robin Nest  
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
