Like Meryl I think that it is the same female (Tuppence) in the Wallbox, it seems more than a coincidence that another female would lay in a nest within 24 hrs of it being vacated, especially when I have two other desirable residences in shot putting distance.
There isn't really a problem with the fledged chicks at the moment as the three eggs are just lying there in the box all day, while she is out helping to feed the young ones. Admittedly it is possible that Tom is doing the bulk of the feeding because his feeder box is being emptied where 2p's just needs topping up.
There is no way that I can identify Tuppence, but if I see the male in the box I can probably tell if it is Tommy or not.
