This year the first bird I have seen collecting food and taking it away is the coal tit, so this means it is the first bird in the garden that I know of to have young.
Coal tits make their nest from moss, lichen, hair or wool, usually low in a wall or tree stump, 7-12 eggs are laid usually in April or May and a second batch is laid later in the year.
The coal tit's eggs are small and white with reddish brown speckles, they are incubated by the female for 14-16 days and the young fledge in 16-19 days, after fledging the young are fed by both the male and female.
