Into the third week and we have NINE eggs in the nest that we can see. Freda is definitely incubating now and we anticipate that around the first Bank Holiday week in May 4th or 5th we may see some hatching taking place.
This will be going into a critical phase now as Blue Tits are renowned for having large broods as the survival rate is fairly low. A good expectation from nine eggs would be 2 or 3 chicks making it through to adulthood.
