Well I had a bit of a nightmare yesterday, I was in process of cleaning my hamster out,(all creatures great & small eh!!) put him in his playpen, when all of a sudden from the kitchen tv I heard such a racket 
!! Goes running in to see what was occurring in the nestbox and low and behold a Bumble Bee had got in there and Poppy had come back to bring more feathers. Poppy was flapping around and squawking so hard, I honestly thought she was either going to break her wings or have a heart attack, eventually Poppy managed to escape, the bee stayed for another 5 mins, but then found the hole to get out. My fear then was, is Poppy coming back??, but she must have been watching, cos soon as the bee flew out she flew back in and spent another 10mins inspecting her eggs and every inch of the box (phew!!), but then goes back to my hamster, Gone!!!!! Heart was in my mouth, he’d escaped his playpen, the little bugger!!! 
luckily enough I just caught sight out of the corner of my eye as he was about to disappear under my settee 
.
Anyway Poppy is leaving her eggs uncovered for some reason, so here’s a nice piccie
