Birds Eggs
3 Answers
Checked one of my nest boxes 2 weeks plus ago. Blue Tits eggs. A bit of a surprise, it’s one I made to encourage a robin to nest. Letter box opening instead of a circular hole. Now the weekend no sign of bird sitting and starting to incubate. I understand the hen lays eggs then leaves the clutch until finished laying. Past years it’s been around mid June before chicks fledge and fly the nest. Is it a bit late for hen to start sitting. Maybe something has scared the hen away I’ve seen cats in past years just sitting under boxes staring but not this year.
