I think they are working as a couple but aren't ready to "sit" just yet.

Once she sits I think he then feeds her!

There's the 6th egg!!

both mum and i are hooked now! mum checks during her lunch break at work. i've also searched for other webcams of bird boxes now too! the other saved in my favourites is a peregrine nest in brighton - their eggs are hatching already!

I spotted a blue tit in my garden yesterday evening, it was pinching clumps of the fleece liner from my strawberry baskets :rotfl:

They must be nesting nearby maybe in a neighbours garden as I don't often see them here, just the occasional one on the peanut feeder. Which reminds me, should we take down peanut feeders with whole nuts in at this time of year as I've heard that they can choke the babies

Looks like 8 eggs this morning.....wonder how long she'll keep laying for! Check out the blog site for the video!

Someone on another site reckons their bluetit box has 10 eggs already, so she may lay a couple more yet!

According to this link it could be up to 16! http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birds/bluetit.htm

Looks like that as of this morning we are now up to 9 eggs!

Certainly seems to be getting crowded in there!

She’s been in there all day so it could be the start of the incubation process.

Updates will be fewer on the ground as all she seems to be doing on the videos is shuffling around.

Looking next to capture the male coming in to feed her!
