11th April – Still Seven

When checking the box today, the female Great Tit appears to have started full time incubation. She only left for a few minutes before coming back.

During the times she left the box, I was able to see that she still had seven eggs, so this looks like the final total.

Incubation normally lasts around 14 days. So if I came correct my guess is the eggs should hopefully start to hatch around 25th April 2025. Will I be correct and will the eggs hatch, after what happened the last time I had a Great Tit nest.
