I have had B/Tits in my box for years, this year I moved the box, nothing, was that a bad move or what?
Had a male S/Hawk divebomb my feeding station this morning, however he left empty clawed!

How exciting!!! Is egg laying done in the morning, one a day, for x amount of days??? How many would you expect?
This is new for me, when I was in Wales and England last year, I thought these guys were wonderful (I have an affinity with the black-capped chickadee here and am always pleased if they nest near by!!)

CONGRATS to the mother Blue Tit & for you
2nd egg today
2nd egg today - she seems to be laying them in the mornings.
It was the first time we had seen her sleeping in the box over night, looking very fluffed up and snug.
Don't worry I won't bore you all with a daily count of the eggs - I'll let you know what the grand total is though!

had a very early alarm call today when my daughter announced we had eggs, were covered up by the time I got to the TV but did see them later, at least 3, maybe 4.
not incubating either, unless the bird is in the box and moving the material on them they're very hard to see.

Does the male hang around, or does he like to peek at the little would be tits? I hope you had egg #4 today and she starts to incubate soon!
Your daughter is a budding ornithologists, is she!

dont see both birds much, female seems to have done most of the work as far as I can tell....
she occasionally comes out with me, but not really that interested, which is fair enough, but that hasn't stopped me trying to make her appreciate our wildlife
She quite often surprises people with what she does know, her teacher told me she had quite an arguement about whether the large black bird on the school field was a Raven or Crow, my daughter was furious when she got home as she knew it was a Crow and the teacher wouldn't listen o
