Great stuff Natalie
You are far in front of anyone else on here from what I've seen.
The way things are going, she'll be well into incubation before most of us have nests with any eggs at all - or even nests!

Could be a big clutch there Natalie She looks like she’s had a rough nights sleep by looking at her fluffy feathers, looks like my hair when I get up in a morning after I’ve been tossing and turning all night Elle xx

I wonder when she'll stop laying? The more mouths to feed the less time she'll have for herself!

What a fantastic number Natalie, maybe there’s something in this feeding of mealworms earlier on. Can’t wait to find out her final number. icon_biggrin Sue

Natalie, so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you as I lost my mum at this time of year. I will admit I found comfort in watching my birds in the days after her death ,and they gave me comfort as whilst she had dementia she also had blue tits nest in an old box we put up and she spent many an excited hour watching them. So watching my birds brings back lovely memories of her. We all grieve in our own way but I found occupying myself and being on the forum helped me in some way. May not be for you and I understand that. Our thoughts will be with you in the many hard days to come, and we look forward to seeing your posts again once you feel ready. Big hugs. Sue

Oh Natalie I'm shocked to hear your news, Dad's are so precious. I was 24 when my own Dad died suddenly and I still miss him now as old as I am. Even though we have only known you for a short while we were so pleased you joined us and shared your nest with us. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Look forward to seeing you on here next year, meanwhile take care and believe the sun will shine again for you.
