First egg

We had a nice surprise this morning - an egg in Box 3!

She came in later, and fussed over the egg for a while - then her partner came in to feed here.

 The first egg in Box 1 was laid yesterday morning, but we didn't realise at first - the female had hidden it, but later left it on view.   I'm hoping  the same thing will happen today.

The first egg of the season was laid in Box 2 a week ago - but the next day the bluetit vanished.  This will be the first time that we've had no chicks in this box, since it was put up in 2001.
