Blue Tit's require 13-15 days to incubate their eggs. All 8 eggs are still being incubating - that was the situation this morning. By this afternoon there were only 7 eggs.
And this is why:
The first chick hatched this afternoon at c3.15pm. This is only 12 days incubation. The 13th day is tomorrow - 4th May 2011. Fingers crossed there are more chicks to come. Mum has been brilliant and has been feeding the little one.
