Day 21 of the BT nest 'build'... she left very very early yesterday morning, before 0530... and I saw a lot of BT chasing about and calling to each other in the afternoon in the garden.
Then this morning, she left a bit later around 0600 but, came back inside around 0630, closely followed by the male, who popped in and fed her.
He came back shortly afterwards and fed her again.
She stayed sitting there for a good 15 minutes, with a bit of fussing and pulling at material around her, but also closing eyes periodically.
I wondered if she was in the process of laying an egg, but when she finally got up and left I couldn't see anything buried in the feathers and fluff.
She popped back in briefly at 1030 but nothing more as yet.
