No visible change in Box1.

But what's this?  It looks as though Daisy has won the race to produce the first egg!

Yes - it's fairly clear, though with all the different feathers and other stuff in the nest box, I could be mistaken.

At the end of the day, Daisy has covered the egg, if it is one, up again.

Well, I suppose it was too much to hope for another sight of the egg, or more probably eggs, this morning.

There has been no sign of an egg in Box1 today.  At least Chloe is roosting in her box again.  Perhaps she'll give us a surprise and lay her first egg!

This show Daisy tucked up and fast asleep in Box2.

What's that at the bottom left of Daisy's ball of feathers?  Has she moved the egg out of the way to avoid it starting to incubate, or is it something else?
