Mum bird gets rewarded...
A quite boring life I guess, expected to take 14 days... It was only later that I realized that there were eggs in the bird box at this moment. The eggs are hidden deep in the nest and the bird is leaving the bird box during the whole day. When leaving the box in the morning, she carefully hides the eggs.
3 weeks after she started building its nest, this night was the first night she slept in the box. I was a littlebit surprised and amazed by what she is doing with her feathers. I guess it is for keeping her warm? It took about 2 weeks for this great tit to build the base of its nest. Some days she did not that much... other days she was working very hard. The bird box was designed to attract a great tit... and look who's visiting the box today... Although it seems not very comfortable with the camera.
The bird box has its place in a tree with perfect view from my kitchen. The box is connected to my home network. Everything seems to work fine. Let's hope a bird will choose it as its breeding place.
