Welcome to the 2025 beaks!
Last updated: 23th April 2025
Looks like there are 8 eggs in there. It can be diificult to tell because sometimes bits of fluff looks like eggs, and we don't have a top-down view any more. She will be spending most of her time sitting on the eggs until they all hatch.
Keep watching the Live stream or look at the highlights.
The visiting beaks
Curated highlights of the beak visits this year. The latest videos are at the top.
Looks like 8 eggs to us. See if you can count them near the beginning and end of this video.
At 6.06am on the 15th of April 2025, Mrs. B. laid her first egg. YAY!!!! Go Mrs. B! Let's have lots more. I love this beautiful beak!
Mrs. B. continues to build the nest and Mr. B. continues to bring in food. Good beaks.
Mrs. B. is sorting out the nest when Mr. B. comes in with a nice insect for her. This time she scoffs it down rather than shouting at him.
Not really sure what is going on here. She brings in some moss, he brings in a spider and she yells at him, then she takes the moss out again. Any ideas?
The first bit of nesting material. She brings in a nice sprig of moss, chucks it in a corner and forgets about it. It's a start, I guess.
Mr. Beak brings in some grub for the chicks - or a spider to be precise. There's no chicks yet, so he eats it himself. Good practice though.
Look that that flapping! This is what she will be doing when she brings in nest material. She's cleaned the box out and is practicing her nest making technique. It can't be long now until she starts nesting.
Mrs. B wakes up briefly, has a little look around and goes back to sleep with her head under her wing.
The new camera captures a beak for the first time. It looks a little less anaemic with a non-IR camera.
Just a short clip, but you can hear them cheeping to each other. So cute!
Now with sound! The beaks come in for another look around
The first beaks in the box! The picture quality is terrible, but we have beaks! A pair of Blue Tits hop in for a nosey.
