Frank Reijn had to stare at his Youtube stream for a while, but the time has finally come: the first great tit can be seen in his bird house in Purmerend. “This is the first time I’ve really seen an egg hatch,” Frank says enthusiastically. De Purmerender thinks that the next eggs will hatch today.
Frank has been making a live stream for ten years, but usually he misses a special moment. Frank: “Most eggs hatch at night.” That is not the case now, because the first great tit saw the light of day this afternoon.
To be able to admire this well, the Purmerender has made a special house that is really camera-friendly. He thinks it’s ‘great’ that the eggs are now actually hatching and expects the bird to have brothers or sisters today.
