We were able to watch, via the nestbox camera, four hatchling Blue Tits emerge from the eggs this morning :)
Not the best of photos but it will give you an idea!
The female Blue Tit consumed the egg shells and the male has been bringing in food on a regular basis for the female to feed the young.
Hopefully, the last two eggs will hatch within a day or so.
How wonderful , if I had this going on in my garden i would not be able to stop watching...

Great post, look forward to seeing these develop over the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Ian and thanks so much for leaving a comment. They are very late this year compared to previous years so it will be interesting to see how they get on :)
DeleteWonderful... I'm with Amanda above.. I wouldn't be able to stop watching if I had a nestbox camera :o) x
ReplyDeleteWelcome and thanks so much for leaving a comment. Yes, they are exceedingly watchable :) Very difficult to count them but can't see any eggs so it looks as though we now have six young :)
