I'm having a go at a short video - can't promise anything because YouTube has changed since last year, so I don't know whether I pressed the right buttons at the right time.

It is a bit strange as you need to press reply before you get the options to post a video. Once you click on the video icon, just paste the url from YouTube. it is a different icon to where you post pictures, with that you need to delete the http bit
fab video you have just posted, she is so advanced in her nest building and isn’t Mr GT looking after Mrs GT, i have nothing in mine!

Well done Beechnut....I can see the video! Brilliant... Did I miss a post or something?....as I didn't realise your bird had eggs now already!! If so congratulations!!! Your is nest is the first on the forum I think? (I feel she must be sitting on eggs otherwise, why would the male be bringing her food? )

No GBH - Still waiting for the 1st egg! Meg spent about 10 minutes covering over the cup before she left this morning - hoping that an egg is imminent!
The male GT will support the female through nest building and often will bring food in at bedtime right through rearing the chicks while she stays on the nest all night.
Thanks for the info guys - I'll try using the whole lot of the URL from YouTube next time I get a video to post.
