So how many eggs does Daisy have?  If it's still eight, she hasn't laid one this morning which means she has finished laying eggs and the size of her clutch will stay at 8.

This picture seems to show 9 eggs though.  We'll see for certain soon enough!

A close-up of Daisy's clutch of eggs confirms that she has 9 of them.  She has also started incubating them, so they will probably start hatching around the 4th or 5th of May.

Chloe is still laying and looks as though she now has 8 eggs

Another view of Chloe's 8 eggs.

This close-up is pretty clear - Chloe has 8 eggs so far.

Chris has come to the nest box with food for Chloe - who isn't there to eat it!

A close-up of Chloe's eggs confirms that there are 8 of them.
