Phenoweb project
@phenoweb.bsky.social
The www.phenoweb.org project examines the effects of climate on phenology and trophic interactions across woodland food webs. The study encompasses 44 field sites across Scotland and has been run since 2014 by researchers at Edinburgh University
The first of our blue tits successfully fledged last week! And, many more nestlings are ready to go — won’t be long now!

Although we're still collecting this year's data, 2025 is shaping up to be a record-early year for first leaf emergence among many of our studied tree species — including oaks! 🌳

Happy Easter weekend to all who celebrate!
While you're out hunting for chocolate eggs, our team is busy monitoring the breeding progress of our blue tits. 🪺
As of today, we have eggs in 73 nests, with several females already incubating. In contrast, on this day last year, only 2 nests had eggs!

And we're off! Our first blue tit egg was laid on 3 April 2025 - making this, by some margin, the earliest start to a season in the 12 years of our project! 🪺

Looks like being a very early spring for us. We already have over 60 blue tit nests and didn’t reach similar numbers ‘til around April 10th last year. This sycamore is already in leaf, and last year it didn’t reach a similar stage for another three weeks. When will we get our first eggs?
