THEY'VE HATCHED!

What a lovely surprise yesterday morning some of the chicks had hatched.
Take a look at this.

FOUR EGGS




It's Tuesday and we have four eggs, that's one a day since Saturday.
She lays one every morning then spends all day out and about returning between 7.30-8pm fussing around the eggs then sleeping on top of them. There can be anything up to 15 eggs per breeding pair. The average amount of eggs however, tends to be 7-8 per nest. Once she's finished laying she'll pluck the feathers from her belly to create a brood spot she'll incubate the eggs alone.

SUNDAY ROOST
We came home this evening and she's spending her first night in the box.
Funny thing is all that soft moss and she's sitting on the hard wooden floor

SUNDAY IN THE NEST BOX
More moss and more waggle dancing.

NEST BUILDING SATURDAY 27th MARCH
Today was a busy day for our Blue Tit she was in and out of the box all day.

Early in the day she bought in dry grass followed by huge amounts of moss.
Each delivery came with a celebratory waggle dance.

LOOK AT THIS TIT
We've had visitors in our new video bird box...check this out.
The female has been having a tidy up, how exciting.
Hopefully there will be more to follow.
