Excellent, my Mrs GT is still fetching some soft furnishings, so I think that will be ongoing for a while yet.

Thanks folks. Just a quick update. We had egg number six today so that must be it as she spent all day incubating 🌞🙂

That’s a small enough number of eggs for a Bluetit all the same Sammi, minimum usually around 7/8 unless its very late in the season. Maybe she’s a modern Bluetit who’ is fed up with building the nest, laying the eggs, incubating the eggs, rearing the chicks and just wants a life flying free in the skies and decided to take control of her clutch size

I'm not sure if she has read the manual.🤣

Might end up being a staggered Sammi if she can't bring them all to full term together like Flo last season. We shall have to wait and see, nevertheless it's a good clutch so

Sorry for delay in replying to everyone. Still 7 eggs and so far Rocksy is being well looked after by Rolland. Hatching end of next week-ish? I'll have to check. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by everything so perhaps not keeping up with everyone's posts. Forgive me for that but I will get around to it soon. Love to all and stay safe. Still weeping over Natalie. ❤

Thanks all you lovely folk for your comments. 6 out of 7 hatched I think. First one was yesterday morning and the 6th just now I think. I haven't had chance to count those little gapes . I hope you are all well and that your nests are doing well. I will catch up soon. Take care

My best friend the Robin. If I need a boost he comes to the rescue🤣 The 7th egg hatched a day later and this morning I counted 7 little gapes and all is going well. Mini mealworms are being used and touch wood there seems to be plenty of food about.
