Beaks 2026 Launched!Last updated: Saturday 14th February

We have a new site! The old one was thrown together in a massive rush, rather than designed. See "about" for the new 2026 box features. We have already had lots of visits from a pair of blue tits, checking out the box for suitability. The new white lights are turned on during the day, dimmed to a soft glow so that they don't freak the beaks.

The best action from 2026Last updated: Saturday 14th February

Crow attack! Listen to the crow/jackdaw scrabbling around on the box. Look to the left of the screen and you can see a long pointy beak coming in. The blue tits avoided the nest for a week after this - maybe it put them off?

The first recorded visits of the year. Just a quick hop in and out to get a feel for the place. They will keep coming in with increasing regularity until the nest building starts, and it's all systems go!
