We have a new record 🚨 the warm month of march in the Netherlands had its effect on the first laying date of the Great tits! Breaking the record by two days the first egg date this year is 21st March. One blue tit went even beyond that and noted a first egg date on 19th of march! #breedingseason2026

I’m catching up on an old issue of Lifecycle and found this fascinating article on a Great tit’s recovery from a nasty case of avian pox. Would be interesting to know if infection completely cleared or still transmissible #DiseaseEcology #Ornithology
