Fluffy's nest is going backwards again.

The first picture was taken early;  the other at the end of the day.

It looks as if Fluffy has been attacking the cardboard again.  She must be fluffy in her head as well in her plumage!

Fantail's nest had another visitor in the early morning.  Our friend the bumble bee paid us another visit.

We've pointed to the bee with a black pointer as it manages to hide itself quite well.  It wandered around inside the nest box for several minutes before disappearing as suddenly as it had arrived.

Fantail continued nest building watched by her appreciative partner, Fred.

"Let's give it a bit of a shove."    ...    ...   "This hay will give it a bit of body!"

Fred pops in from time to time - just keeping an eye on things, you know!

"I think I'll lay my eggs here."
