The female Great Tit has continued to visit with more fine nesting material. Today she brought in some material that look like human hair or possibly some fluff. I have no idea where she is finding this material, but the chicks should be nice and warm if\when they hatch.
With fine material still coming in, I wondered if egg laying was approaching or if there is more nest building to happen first.
After adding some more material, the female left the bird box and left the nest cup uncovered. To my surprise (and a nice one), I could see she had laid her first egg. There was no egg yesterday, so it must have been laid early this morning.
Hopefully she will now lay one egg each morning. What will the total number of eggs be?
More in my next diary update
