Hi

At long last the female Blue Tit in my box has started laying eggs - she must be one of the last in the south of England!

There is a video of her going through the entire process at:

... It certainly looks like hard work at times!

Regards

Andy

Certainly looks like hard work, i take my hat off to them both! Any idea how many eggs are in there now? Like you said, it was a bit difficult to see with all the nesting material.
