Mrs GT made many visits yesterday and today bringing soft material to line her nest.
Tonight is the first time she has decided to sleep there.
All being well the first egg should be appearing in the not too distant future.
For anyone not able to leave a comment - I spent some time searching to find a possible cause.
All I came up with is it is something which others have found happening from time to time.
It has been going on for some years and only affects a few blogs at any one time.
There doesn't seem to be a solution apart from waiting for things to get back to normal in their own good time.
It does look like the eggs should be appearing soon. I never realised that they didn't sleep in the nest whilst building it.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so cosy and it is marvellous to see it all developing with the help of your set up. Hope this comment gets through John .
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Saw them nesting in a hole in a tree here
ReplyDeleteSuper video - when blue tits have used the nestbox with a camera here we always noticed that the minute she started to roost on nest overnight then egg laying was imminent :)
ReplyDeleteI've loved watching Mrs GT preparing her nest as am in the process of selling and buying a new house. All very stressful but Mrs GT is an inspiration. Thank-you for the videos.
