I feel like a stuck record for the last few days. Finally today I can count the number of eggs laid!
After a short time, the female Great Tit woke up, stretched her wings and left the nest box. However, this time she did not cover the nest and I was able to count seven eggs!
The first egg was laid on 3rd April, so if I am correct and she has laid one each day, the seventh egg should have been laid on 9th April.
Is seven the finally total or will she lay more?
More in my next diary update
