Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: a little bit less than a quarter full. Grass growth: spring grass just showing through.
Checked on Steve. She’s sitting tight and looking pretty. Jack finally asked after her whereabouts. When I filled him in he said he was pleased she has got herself a good nest site but he’s a bit worried about starting another family so close to Brian’s own brood of five (Paula and the four Boys, born five months ago). He says he’s worried if there will be enough grazing and also the reliability of the feed hopper. I admit that the feed hopper has been low lately but I told him not to worry, these things work themselves out. He seemed a bit reassured but I did hear him muttering something like, “Eleven! What was she thinking?!”
