Finally, some good news about Box1.

First, here is a picture of Bob feeding Becky in the nest box.  At least that proves he is still around!

Becky finished her nest in Box1 some time ago, but so far we have seen no signs of her laying any eggs.

Today, this changed.  Here is our first glimpse of two eggs!

Becky's secret is out!  Has she laid only the two, or are there more hidden beneath the nest material?

At least two - but at the moment it looks as though that's the lot.

She is soon back, giving us a rather better view of her eggs.

Finally, a shot of Becky asleep on her eggs taken at about 10pm.

And another of Jess, who is now sitting on 6 eggs.
