​

June 4 - Box 2 fails

A few days ago 1 bird failed to roost at night and has not been back since. We have found an egg on the floor outside and appears to be no eggs left in the box. The single bird was still roosting at night so not sure what happened. However, a new mate has now appeared and they are getting to know each other, so hopefully a new clutch of eggs soon. So now down to 13 eggs.
