Just watched a bit of your stream Matt and she had a funny moment with the feathers, stuck to her at one point looked like she had slippers on

and shortly after for a second I thought I glimpsed an egg cool2

Karen I saw that too as it was happening, but I didn't notice the egg. Might try and rewind later. She does seem to have something of an issue with feathers sticking to her feet in particular!!

I have been resurrecting the meal-worm feeder that I made 3 years ago for my first nest. She didn't find it (or work out how to get in, at least), back then, so I have modified it a bit. Before, there were only holes in the wooden sides, and one hole in the plastic side. I have now drilled a load in both of the plastic sides, and swapped the wooden roof for a clear plastic one - hopefully make things a bit more visible this way. No mealworms yet, so I chucked a few cut up bits of fat block in there, and have mounted the feeder in the same place the fat block feeder was. The bluetits have been visiting, so hopefully they will adjust to the new feeder, and then it should be an easy transition to mealworms when I get them.
