The Great Tit nest in the colour birdcam box was completed over a week ago when the female Great Tit also started to roost in the box again. This is often a sign that egg laying is about to start. The well of the nest has been kept closely covered by hair and fluff during the day, but today at least five eggs have been left uncovered whilst the birds have been out of the box.

Update: Still only five eggs on 1st May and it looks like the Great Tits have started to incubate the eggs. If all goes well we should see chicks in about two weeks time.
