The old silk town of Macclesfield in Cheshire sits between the wild moors of the Derbyshire Peak District to the east and the beautiful green Cheshire
countryside to the south and west. Being surrounded by fields and moorland, many parts of Macclesfield are able to see some incredible wildlife.
This website documents some of the wildlife that visits a small garden in the area - including birds, mammals, insects and occasional amphibians.
One camera overlooks a small patch of wild garden, one is watching a bird feeding station and two more are in birdboxes.
There may soon be more cameras watching anything else that may be interesting.
If you'd like to see what's happening right now, take a look at the Live Cameras webpage, or click on any of the images below.
From 2016 through to 2019 no nesting took place in the small bird boxes but after cutting back hedges and slightly changing the direction of Birdbox2, the Blue Tits began to get interested and again decided to nest in 2020.
The female laid seven eggs and you can watch how she is getting on via the live cameras webpage.

New in 2019 was the installation of a Swift box at the front of the house. Despite playing Swift calls regularly for both nesting seasons, so far there has been no interest.
