| Catherine's Nest Box Webcams 2016 Located in Stock, Essex, UK
 
 Our 11th
			 Year
  In 2006 we showed a pair of
				blue tits raising a family. We had a live webcam feed and a diary of events
				with archived pictures. For 2007-2010 we had 6 or 7 cameras running 24/7 with
				updates to the web pages. For last year, 2011 & 12, we ran at least 7
				cameras. We hope to run at least 4 cameras in 2014. The archive and diaries
				have been continued and are updated regularly. This is the page for browsers
				without frames. It is not updated as often as the main pages but the links
				should take you to the latest content. Bird Box Webcam

				  | 29th
					 October | We finally got
					 around to finishing off this year's archive and summarising summarising the
					 year's activity. 
  
						 
						  |  
								Box 1 6 of the 7 great
								  tit chicks fledged within a few minutes of each other at around 09:00 on 26th
								  May. One died a few days prior.
 |  |   
						Box 2All 8 blue tit chicks
						  fledged on 2nd June.
Box 3Despite early activity,
						  nothing decided to breed in this box.
Box 4One chick fledged on
						  28th May, the remaing 3 fledged on 29th May. 2 unhatched eggs
						  remianed.
Box 5 5 chicks fledged on
						  28th May, the remining 2 fledged on 29th May. One chick was found dead in the
						  box.Box 6 No
						  camera here but it appeared that a brood of great tits were
						  raised.
Box 7 8 blue tit eggs were
						  laid and the female incubated them for about 6 weeks before giving
						  up. |   
				  | 28th
					 May |  
						Box 1 6 of the 7 chicks
						  fledged within a few minutes of each other at around 09:00 on 26th May. One
						  died a few days prior.
  
						Box 2 Looks like the 8 chicks
						  are progressing.
  
						Box 4One chick fledged
						  today.
  
						Box 5 5 (?) chicks fledged
						  today leaving 2. The parents are still feeding those left behind.
  
						Box 7 It seems like the
						  female has finally given up on her eggs after incubating for more than a
						  month. |   
				  | 19th
					 May |  
						 
						  |  
								Box 1 It looks like at
								  least 7 of the 8 great tits have survived so far and are being fed by both
								  parents.
  
								Box 2 Probably 8 of the
								  10 blue tits hatched on the 13th May. Both parents feeding.
  
								Box 4 4 of the 7 eggs
								  hatched in the end. Chicks seem to be doing ok with both parents feeding
								  them.
  
								Box 5 The blue tit
								  chicks hatched a few days ago but the birds still insist on blocking the
								  camera. Both parents feeding.
 
  
								Box 7 The female blue
								  tit is still incubating but the male has not been seen for a week or so. There
								  was a visit from a woodpecker during the last week. Not looking very
								  good.

				  | 26th
					 April | Incubation
					 started, a few days ago, on 10 great tit eggs in box 1 and 7 blue tit eggs in
					 box 4. 
 Camera
					 views from boxes 5 & 7 are partially obscured although box 7 is clearing.
					 Once roosting starts, the nest material should be flattened and the views will
					 be better.
 
 Higher resolution, timed update, pictures from box 4 have been
					 added.
 
 Greetings
					 to Gitta, Betty et al at webmadarasz.forumx.hu where there are some
					 captures from our boxes.
