After discovering 3 eggs in my Blue tit box yesterday I was a bit suprised to discover what looks like a couple of eggs in my Gt tit nest box. I'm not 100% certain that they are eggs as the camera is infra red so only gives out a B/W image.
What do you think?
I have never had a camera in this box before so I am not sure when Great tits start laying.


Both boxes can be seen live online at http://uk.geocities.com/brett.oliver@btinternet.com/nest_box.htm

Hi Brett, as Elizabeth say's it looks like egg's, and great tit's start to lay April-May so you could be in luck.

Well it looks like you were correct there are now 7 eggs in the Gt Tit box see picture.

The female seems to have stopped laying a few days back and is busy incubating the eggs.
