Spring-watch at HMSG

Last year the Eco-School club purchased a bird box with a webcam.  Unfortunately no birds chose to nest in it, but having moved the box to a quieter location, this year a Blue Tit has taken up residence!

She has made her nest and laid several eggs. On Monday [Day 0] she started to sit on the eggs and should be hatching them in 13-15 days.

Pupils are watching her on the live webcam through the school computer system.  These images will be updated regularly.
