Bird Box “Honeysuckle House”
This is a live feed from our birdbox, nestled in a honeysuckle bush. We set it up back in 2021 and to our amazement, blue tits moved in, laid eggs and fledged in 2021 and 2022. Sadly no one moved in permanently during 2023, something spooked them during nest building. 2024 we had two blue tits move in and 6 chicks hatched, but sadly all passed over night due to a shortage of the caterpillars they eat had been washed off the trees, due to excessive rainfall.
2025 – We’ve got great tits moving in and building a nest; Victoria & Albert. Fingers crossed.
We have created a Facebook page to make it easy to share and follow their journey https://www.facebook.com/HoneySuckleBirdHouse.

Watch as 4 great tit chicks arrive. Well done Victoria & Albert :-)2 eggs to go, let’s hope they hatch tomorrow.
Purely by chance, after adding another camera we see this pesky cat climb onto Honeysuckle house! Grrrrrrrr. Fortunately, Victoria remained calm and safe incubating her 6 eggs. Whilst we ran out to install some defences!![]()
Finger’s crossed it’s the last we see of the cat! Will be bolstering the defences tomorrow!![]()
