tomburras 2,721 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Today is the 1st time I seen the eggs. As usual she covered them over with fluff and feathers and then started to sit on them when she finished laying. I think there's 5 eggs. Usually in other years they have laid 8 or 9. This very cold snap might have made them decide to just lay 5? She is has been sitting on the eggs all the time today, with him bringing her catapillars and feeding her as if she is a chick. When he comes she opens her mouth and acts just like a chick wanting feeding. He is sleeping in the tree by the box on a night. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRAZYHORSE 2,647 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Nice one mate, got a pair of blue tits in a nest box in the garden. With your updates I will have a rough idea what is going on in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Great pics. Ive had a box up for 3 years with no joy. My neighbour reckoned it was because the sun was on it during the day and it would be too warm. So I moved it and have Great Tit chicks in there as we speak! They hatched yesterday at some point. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
