@Vic_Gill @BBCNews @WythamWoods @UniofOxford Definitely cute! Here is one of the chicks from that nest 7 days on… now this is ugly!

My important question for the nation today: Day-old nestlings. Cute or ugly? (Much more cute ugliness - and a bit of science too - on @BBCNews today) @WythamWoods @UniofOxford

Bracing ourselves for a very synchronised field season in @WythamWoods! 😬

Wytham Tit Study@WythamTits

After an early start, egg laying was slow to get going thanks to a temp drop at the end of March. Warm weather in the run up to Easter moved things along - 177 females began laying within 48hrs (17-18th Apr)! We now have 552 blue & 223 great tits nests (& 2 mixed species broods!)

We have a new paper out in @NatureClimate showing how the well-documented shift in timing of egg laying in great tits varies markedly within a single population & is linked to the health of nearby oaks. Read more here: ox.ac.uk/news/2021-09-2… & paper here: go.nature.com/3kPNuUg

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI Well done Ben! I can’t even begin to imagine what it must feel like to have cycled that far. An epic achievement for a fantastic cause! Rest well!

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI @WythamTits @EvansSre @EvolOdonata @WythamWoods1 Might have done...

Wytham Tit Study@WythamTits·22 May

Four days' worth of final instar winter moth caterpillar from half a square metre of oak canopy... How many millions in @WythamWoods1?! No wonder we have so many big, happy broods at the moment!

Ella Cole@EllaFCole·25 Nis

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI @WythamTits @WythamWoods1 I make our current laying rate about 300 eggs per day - summary tweet to follow...

English

Wytham Tit Study@WythamTits·24 Nis

6,247 eggs and counting! It's going to be a high density year for the @WythamWoods1 tits - current numbers make 2019 the highest density season for 7 years. Most likely due to a combination of the mild winter and a good beech mast crop. It's going to be a busy May for us!
