Bluetit Diary    Apr 2007 (11)

 

 

Friday 13th April, 2007

Now Fay has laid her first egg!  Bluetits' eggs are clearly much smaller than those laid by a great tit!

And Greta now has three!

Come on Abby - how about an egg from you?  That would make our nest box collection complete!

At least Angus is doing his bit - here he prepares to feed Abby on the nest.

Angus passes the food to Abby - a bluetit kiss?

Abby has brought in a huge amount of nesting material.  She is almost buried in the stuff!

Gustaf is doing his bit too.  This is a late evening snack for Greta.

Gustaf passes over the food to Greta.

Nine minutes later Gustaf is back again with more food.

At nearly a quarter to eight, Greta settles down for the night.
