Good for Sally! 

Sally now has three eggs.  That's one every day since we saw the first last Friday.  Lets hope she keeps it up and broods them successfully!

Over in Box3, Abby is still messing about with her nest and in particular, the nest cup area - but when will she start laying?

So far there has been no sign of her wanting to roost overnight either.

She has certainly brought in lots of nesting material.  So much so that she sometimes looks as though she will get lost in it!

Finally for today, what can I say about Gelda?  I have already said that great tits are boring birds in comparison to bluetits, but Gelda and Phil are so low profile they may almost not be there at all!

There's no sign of an egg here even though Gelda roosts in the box every night.
