Bluetit Diary    Apr 2007 (19)

 

 

Thursday 19th April, 2007

Greta is still incubating her 6 eggs.  Fay's clutch is now 7 and Abby clearly has 5, or possibly 6 eggs.

So Fay has laid another egg this morning.  And judging from the amount of time she is away from the nest, she is not incubating yet and so probably has more to come.

Greta is slowly getting Gustaf trained!

This time it looks as though he has brought her a little green caterpillar - the staple diet of great tit and bluetit chicks.

Abby is getting well looked after by Angus too.

Three minutes later he is back again!

This is the best shot we have of Abby's eggs.  I can count 5, but she could have 6 by now.

A late evening feed from Angus.
