I have a bluetit that has been building a nest in my rspb box in garden fitted with camera. Overnight she laid 3 eggs and has flown off 5 hours ago. Will the eggs be ok left unattended this long or will she come back to them
Hi Diddy and welcome to the forum ... Blue Tits will not start incubating their eggs until they have laid a full clutch usually one per day until complete ... here is some info for you about their nesting habits ...

Do let us know if you have a successful nest?
