After the last lengthy posting, this is just a brief update.

This looks like 13 or 14 eggs to me.  It could be 14 as there were 13 yesterday.  Time will tell.

Joe brings food to Amy fairly often.  Here he is with part of a mealworm.

This is Box2 and it has 10 eggs in it. 

Box3 now has 9 eggs so the three boxes have 33 eggs in total.  This is a record for us.  It must be a good egg year.

Another feed for Amy in Box1.

And another.  Amy is surrounded by feathers - both white and black.  I wonder where all the black feathers that appeared two days ago came from.  Some poor blackbird I expect - victim of the local cats perhaps.  I hope it didn't have chicks!
