Welcome to Nest Watch for 2006.

On 20th January a nest box was installed in our garden, located in Farnham on the Surrey/Hampshire border in the United Kingdom.

Fingers were again crossed that the nest box proved to be an attractive 'des-res' for Blue Tits, and that they experienced a successful breeding season.

Cameras were located inside and outside the box, constantly monitoring the birds.

Many birds took interest, and eventually by mid February a pair had settled in. Nest building started on 6th April and 10 eggs were laid early May. On the 11th June they made the biggest flight of their lives and 10 healthy mini Blue Tits fledged the nest!

These miraculous little birds were fascinating to study, and most of the 140 days of their lives in and around the box were documented in our diary.

This site allows you to share in that unfolding story ...
