I thought Meg must be roosting in the nest box my now. I therefore briefly turned on the light at 10:45pm to see.
She has probably been roosting several days.
Sunday 13th April, 2025
Meg's looking agitated. There must be something outside that is exciting her.
Oh my! She must think it's serious!
It's a nuthatch! Meg doesn't realise it, but there is no way the nuthatch could get into the box through the nest box hole. It's far too small and has a protective metal plate making it difficult for even a woodpecker to get inside that way.
This is the first time we have been able to see any of Meg's eggs. She appears to have 4 of them, so the first one must have been laid on April 10th.
