I have a birdbox with a camera inside and have been watching a blue tit build its nest, lay 7 eggs, and is now sitting on them for almost a week.
I thought that the male was supposed to start helping to feed her while she was sitting on the eggs, but I have seen no other bird coming in to feed her.
She goes out several times an hour to feed and then returns and sits on the eggs. She keeps moving them around under her to keep them evenly warm, I guess.
By 8 pm, she has roosted for the night and curls her head under her wing and sleeps until about 7am.
I wonder if she is a single mom?
