Chloe has clearly made a difference the last couple of days.  This is what the box looked like first thing in the morning.

Chris seems to think she deserves a reward. 

Here he is coming to the nest box with a morsel of food for Chloe ...

 ... and here he is passing the food to her. 

At this time in the season, males often have difficulty in actually letting go of the food they have brought to the nest.  This problem doesn't last long!

Directly Chloe has taken the food, Chris leaves the nest box.

Over in Box2, Daisy has started to bring some feathers into her nest box.  The females always seem to manage to find some of the soft downy feathers, suitable for a freshly hatched chick.
