We came to Mr File's office and we saw the mummy bird sitting on her eggs. We tried to count them and we think we saw 8 eggs. To check that the camera was live, Mrs Knight went outside and spoke to us. We could hear her lovely voice really clearly!
During nest construction, they can be very picky over what stays and goes.
After a busy day building the nest...she sleeps!
We put up our bird box (with a camera) and within 9 days we had Blue-tits showing interest. We were hoping that they would continue to show interest and sure enough they are still visiting and have been very busy making what looks like a nest! Watch this space for more information!
After a horrid day yesterday, when the wind and rain lashed around our school, the birds are busy playing catch-up on the nest construction.
