Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: two – NOT MINE. Feed hopper: three-quarters full.
What a day, what a day! More changes in the nest box. Brian laid an egg there this morning (she NEVER lays in the nest box) and then The Female Person took all the straw out (that she had just put in yesterday!) in preparation for the changes. Well, of course Steve decided she wanted to lay in the nest box as well but the builder person took AGES to do the renovations to the boxes and Steve complained BITTERLY all day long. It was mid-afternoon before she could sit down in private and finally lay. But all that squawking and pacing up and down that she did while waiting for the nest box was really unsettling, Jack was in a complete flap as well.
We now have new improved nest boxes (two big ones instead of three Little Ones) and a new higher perch to replace the low perch, which will be good for avoiding draughts. Secretly I’m a bit worried as I’m not sure if I can reach the perch now.
