Blue Tit eggs

In addition to automatically monitoring my TrailCam, the garden based Raspberry Pi has continued to watch the Blue Tits in Bird Box III which have this year laid a clutch of seven eggs, averaging one a day.

Here are some of the intermediate images:

Three eggs	Four eggs

Five eggs	Seven eggs

Still seven eggs	Home delivery

More insulation?	Another week later, no advance on seven eggs.

These glimpses of the eggs are few and far between - most of the images are of one nesting Blue Tit moving on the nest, with only a handful of images with both parents visible.

With the default motion settings I was getting tens of thousands of images a day recorded - which was causing trouble filling up the Raspberry Pi's SD card, and occasionally failing with a read only file system. That required me to reboot and delete older images to make space. I've imposed a maximum of 5 frames a second for now...

According to the internet, the typical Blue Tit egg incubation time is around two weeks, so these should hatch about the start of June.

Update:

The Blue Tit eggs hatched at the end of May
