So egg number 2 arrived this morning at 6am for Judith and Glen, 
I have no clue whats happening in my rose box, its had a rooster since January which I originally thought was a male and paired with Judith as they always arrived together at roosting time, but it is apparent that it is indeed a female as it started bringing moss last week, only very slowly like for half an hour each morning from say 6am to 6.30am then wouldnt see her till roosting time, never seen her with a male until a few days ago when she came into roost with one tagging along which Glen noticed and swiftly chased him away, he hasnt been seen since at least I havnt seen him, but she continues to build and roost each evening, Glen has now noticed her presence as has Judith who both now spend a lot of time looking into her box, there hasnt been any fighting but the female who I have called Rose isnt happy about there nosiness and does the defensive stance thing if she is in the box when they go for a nosy and she will only come out when she thinks the coast is clear this has gone on now for 4 days now, but still she is bringing moss and nest wriggling, I am not sure if she has paired up with Glen as his bit on the side if she has it isnt obvious. I guess time will tell what becomes of Rose, but I have a soft spot for her and hope she get her nest made and hopefully has a successful season.
