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

As the good weather continues, nest boxes are filling up quickly here in Scotland, with around 70% occupancy across the transect. Many nests are now at the incubation stage, and today (5th May) we recorded the first chicks of 2026 to hatch!

The first egg for the 13th year of data collection along the Phenoweb Transect was laid on 12th April 2026! Looking like we’re in for a fairly ‘average‘ year up here in Scotland, with nest building and budburst progressing slightly slower than in 2025, especially in the North of the transect🪺🌳
Spring is gaining momentum across Scotland. 🌱
Cumulative budburst across the transect has now passed 40%, driven by a surge of activity at our northern sites in recent days. While the North is waking up, the South continues to lead the way in terms of first leaf emergence.
