Bush eggs: four. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full. Hen house: happy!
Camilla and Buttercup have come back, and as Jack had hoped they are now firm friends. It apparently started out badly when they were both terrified of spending the night in the bush but still couldn’t decide whose nest to spend it in. It was getting towards dusk when they finally figured out they should build a NEW nest TOGETHER. They said they really clicked after that. Camilla chose the site, Buttercup chose the materials, they got it built quickly, then snuggled down together and talked away the fear of the night.
This morning after telling us the story they both proudly took us to see the nest – complete with two little eggs.
Jack is so wise. I think Major would be super proud of him.
