The bluetit started it's building of the nest about 4 weeks ago and has now laid 4 eggs which I took a screenshot of this morning



If you see a running man just click on him and it will open to show you the image

This is the infrared night vison, during sunny days the picture turns to colour and it's difficult to see the eggs hidden below the nest materials.

Good

There are now 5 eggs in the box

[Dave]

There are now 6 eggs in the box

[Dave]

7 eggs on the box now. My guess is that that will be the lot now

[Dave]

It seems I was wrong as there's 8 eggs now

[Dave]

Much to my amazement the blue tit has now laid 9 eggs and possibly 10. I have never seen that many in a nest at once before

[Dave]

This is definitely a record, there are now 10 eggs in the box. The biggest worry here is that not all the chicks will survive if they all hatch

[Shirleymac]

How many do you hope will survive? Will she be able to feed them all if they all do?

I hope all those that hatch survive, but in previous years the parents struggled to feed more than 6
