I soooo hope this has a good outcome Karen. Maybe they will share the nest - it has been seen before. On a side note Karen, I see your posts with text but I can also see other blank posts which others have liked etc so I am assuming I am not seeing photos or whatever?! Do I need to be following you somewhere ? I can see everyone else’s so it is really strange. Just feel like i’m Missing out somehow Is anyone else having this problem or is it just stupid me? Sue

Thanks sue, I think it could be my videos from my twitter that are not showing for you for some reason, it happened before and couldn't figure out why, I will post some photos via post image instead.
Since my earlier update Kate has been back to the nest box and resumed nest building and the inevitable happened with the 2nd female arriving, she tried to enter the box but Kate stood her ground and fended her off and after the shock had settled she got back to building and she has started bringing in our dogs fur, hopefully thats the drama over with for the day. All is quiet now apart from Hastings who spends the best part of his day singing from the tree top!

Goodness Karen. These little lovelies are really giving us the run around this year. I hope there isn't any violence.

If our girls continue Matt we be about in sync again as 2018! Got all crossed for us for happy out comes That's the worst thing, isn't it Karen? They could all be tucked up in their own boxes, meal worms all round! A funny thing happened this afternoon; I noticed a bluetit grabbing dog fluff from the ball we have tied to the tree. Thinking this was "my" bird, I turned the screen on to watch her bring it into the box, but she flew off in the opposite direction! Assuming this isn't "my" bird then I am hoping it is one of the birds from the fight, maybe even the bird that originally started nesting? If so, glad she has found somewhere else and is almost done building - would have been nice to be in one of my other boxes, but I can't really afford to be fussy now!!

Kate has found the dog fur, in the back ground is the live food feeder, Starling proof but not Sparrow proof but I dont mind the Sparrows getting in as they are not as greedy!

UPDATE from North Yorkshire; Day 8 of nest building here, Kate is bringing in lots of our dogs fur and it is starting to look cosy, but Hastings and his other women who I have named Jill still come in when she is away and remove pieces of bark, but thankfully she isnt bringing much anymore. This morning from 6am to around 6.40 she was sitting on her nest and doing the heavy panting which did appear to look like egg laying behaviour, but really not sure. I will post a vid up to see what you all think.

Karen, just to let you know that like Sue - sometimes I see your vids & photos but the one you've just put on isn't showing, so it must be the "missing ones" for the two of us are your Twitter ones.

Oh Diane, you have just made me feel a whole lot better - I was beginning to think I had gone quite mad , so pleased I am not the only one no seeing some posts . Hopefully it’s eggs all the way now Karen Sue

Can you all see this vid? It is day 9 for Kate and plenty of dog fur coming in, despite the antics yesterday morning it must have been a false alarm, no eggs yet she is still working on her cup. Soon though I think.
