Well after all the guessing and roosting for 10 days (this is a first for me, normally only roost after laying starts), Poppy has finally given me an Easter Egg 
at 9.30 this morning she left the nestcup partially uncovered and there it was!! 
I don’t know if it was laid last night or this morning! (I have had BTs lay on an evening before!)
looking back to last year, I think she may be a couple of days out!, I had 10 eggs laid & she started incubating 1st May.
Anyway, at least we are up and running, now for the wait 
I did have a bit of anxiety yesterday however, she was away from nest from 8.15am until last night for bed 7.15, she’s only come in this early twice since roosting, usually 8. 35pm.
It has been a strange one this year though, what with Paul’s Tatty doing the same thing!
Would like to know what has caused this behaviour 
We we know where we are at now Ann
