Upon turning on the camera this morning, I was a shocked to find the female Great Tit asleep in the box. She should have laid her fifth egg today, unless she has stopped laying. Sadly every time I went to check, she was either sitting in the nest or had covered the nest cup.
In other nests I have monitored, I have not seen this type of activity before and most times I have been able to count and see the eggs. Perhaps its a sign this nest will be successful!
