What I wonder is how many birds reuse the old nest for their 2nd brood? What Benn was saying about the RSPB feeling it would be a different female laying seems strange. They spend such a while deciding on a nest site, I think it would be weird for a new female to be prepared to lay in a used nest (especially like ours with 2 unhatched eggs from the first brood tucked somewhere in the layers). We had a late nest in July a few years ago but the box hadn't been used earlier in the year and the female built from scratch. Will be interesting to see how many eggs she lays this time and how many are viable.
