There is little change in our boxes at the moment, so this post will cover three days.

Well, if Bella isn't counting we are!  This looks like ten gapes to me.  We haven't been able to count eleven beaks for some time.

Ten gapes again - well strictly, nine gapes and one closed beak.  Let's hope the beak belongs to a chick that has just been fed!

The GSW is back.  I cannot remember being visited by a woodpecker so often before this year.

An odd late evening shot of Fay in Box1!  What's going on here?

So that's what she is up to - diving down to the bottom of the nest.  She is probably turning the eggs again.
