We are pleased to announce the arrival of our first blue-tit egg :-O
- not that we're just a bit excited or anything!!!
Hopefully a few more to come and all goes well!!
We're dead chuffed as the box and camera only went up this year
Its normally one a day for about 10 days, 14 days incubation and about 18 days to fledging.shelley810 said::clap:
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!!)

Yve said: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!
your daughter is a budding ornithologists, is she!
