I had no idea it can take so long. Although I don’t imagine that this is typical to all blue tits. <BR/><BR/>Yes, our Blue tits are later this year. The female was ten days behind in bringing the first piece of moss in and eight days behind with her first egg – we now have three :-D<BR/><BR/><I>Have a great weekend :-D</I>shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905875401968829614.post-62702074657989788802008-05-10T11:14:00.000+01:002008-05-10T11:14:00.000+01:00<B>Hi there Lisa, Barbara, Martin, Mel, Juliet, Jan, Yolanda and Mark :-) </B><BR/><BR/><B>Lisa</B> – It is and there is much more to come. Hope you enjoy your Illinois bird count this weekend and a good Mother’s Day too :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Barbara</B> – Thanks and it really is. Thanks for the link. I have taken a look at it and it is very interesting to see too. I think I’ll do a post on links to Nestcams for birds that are not blue tits. Thanks, and have a great weekend yourself :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Martin</B> – Lol well they haven’t had any clues from yours then!! I see you have 8 out of 9 blue tit eggs hatch in your Nestbox with a camera. I hope the last one hatches soon. Jamie has his blue tit eggs hatching too. It is always interesting to see what is coming to our Nestbox through the ones in England. Sorry, I am late with this reply. She laid her first egg the next day and we now have three! Have a good weekend :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Me</B>l – Thanks for visiting and sharing the action. Have a great weekend :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Jan</B> – Yep, you are quite correct! The next day we saw the first egg and now we have three. It will be approx three weeks before we will see chicks though. The Nestcam is great to have we had thought about one for a couple of years but never thought we would have one. Then when I began this blog it seemed like the best time to have one. Have a great weekend :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Yolanda</B> – Thanks so much, I appreciate that you will remember seeing the sad ending for the brood last year. We now have three eggs. I also appreciate all the comments you leave - great post on comments on posts!! Have a great weekend :-D<BR/><BR/><B>Mark</B> – Hello there and thanks so much for the link to the Chough Nestcam. As I said above I think I will post on other birds with Nestcams. I’m glad you enjoyed my video footage and I hope I have much more to share. Just now as I am writing this I have finally captured footage of the male in the Nestbox visiting with the female feeding here again and again. We now have three eggs. I agree completely – nature is amazing!
