The female great tit is still incubating the eight eggs and there appears to be no change in her agitated behaviour; as if the eggs are overdue.
I've seen all eight eggs this evening and didn't see any cracks to indicate an imminent hatching.
If the eggs are hatching by Friday I fear for the would-be parents as it'll be nearly three weeks since they were laid.
In other news the frog appears to have taken up permanent residence in the pond, despite the water levels in the pond dropping rapidly in the continuing warm weather.
I'm hoping by the weekend, rain will refill the pond & also water the rest of the garden.
Here's hoping the morning will bring news of the first arrival.
