Nesting season

Nesting season excitement is sweeping the school. Our great tit mummy has laid 8 eggs and they look a little different with light red-brown speckles. There are several differences from the blue tits that we’ve noticed so far. We haven’t seen the male bird at all and the female is not around much during the day, although coming back late afternoon and sitting on the eggs overnight. We have some amazing birdwatchers in school and they are carefully observing every detail.
