There's no sign of another (thirteenth!) egg this morning.  It looks as though Bella's clutch is complete.

Bertie continues to feed Bella frequently.

Another 'processed' mealworm by the look of it.

And another.  I wish, though, that we sometimes saw Bertie bring in food that he had found himself, rather than mealworms put out by Elizabeth!

Again, it's another headless mealworm.

Another feed.

We have been hoping all day to catch a glimpse of two eggs in Fay's nest.  This very unclear picture is the best we can do.

Fay seems to be an expert egg coverer.  No wonder some people get confused and when they suddenly see three eggs in the nest for the first time, think they were all laid on the same day!

Finally - Hoggie's back!

Last time we left the cameras running over night we didn't see one.  Tonight we were luckier.  Now we shall have to rearrange the feeding arrangements so that we can put out some food for him/her.
