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.

I first noticed the eggs around 22nd April. As of yesterday 22nd May, no hen sitting to incubate. It’s too late now. For some reason, Cats/death mother has abandoned them, Hopefully next year.
my robins have been & gone. Blue tit squatters feeding chicks squeezed into outside of sash window frame.
