Again, 9 eggs!
A nice picture of Daisy's nine eggs. Bluetits' eggs are a very pale brown with dark brown speckles. They are quite tiny, being about 14mm long and 10mm wide. (My Field guide describes them as "Smooth and slightly glossy. White: very variably marked purplish-red, light red or reddish-brown as fine specks, small spots or variable blotches; often sparce and frequently forming a zone around the larger end. 15.6mm x 12mm")
All I can say is that the eggs I have seen, which are the unhatched ones still at the bottom of the nest cup when the chicks have fledged, are smaller that this!
Those look pale brown to me - not white!
Clearly 9 eggs. The blotches are all over these eggs, not concentrated at one end.
Clearly there is a lot of variability in the look of the eggs!
Daisy has nine eggs too.
