Is the temperature constant? If not, there could be some bubbles produced as the liquid warms due to ambient temperature rising.

Stays at 20c mostly throughout the day, And rises to 21 for a while in the evening.
Even during the night does not fall below 20c, Which is good i suppose.
And the bubbles will vary between 1min 30s to 2 mins.

Never mind about counting bubbles in the airlock.What does the surface of the fermenting wort look like ?
Has it started to clear or is there still a strong yeast presence ?
