Babe has laid another egg - five so far. How many more will she lay?
The eggs are quite spotted. My book describes them as being "White; with spots, specks and small blotches of purplish-red, and some pale purple. Markings variable, usually rather profuse, occasionally sparse, rarely absent. 17.5x13.5mm"
I think that just about sums it up!
What's getting at Kelly this time? She looks as though she is in her "repelling invaders" mood again!
She needn't have worried - a nuthatch is too big to get through the entrance hole.
Clearly, however, we should think about an even bigger hole on a box next year. It would be nice to see a very different species nesting.
