Great news about the first egg Taz! Thanks Paul, and to think 5 days ago we weren't even going to put the box up.. Amazing, so glad we did. Got our first lot of mealworms today so they won't go short 😊

Has Sue laid yet? Probably knows you're watching, she'll sneakily lay when your camera is off 😊 No sue is a perfectionist, everything has to be just right, God knows where she is finding the feathers, but shell move one round for ages and then decide its not right and out it goes...... Nest looks finished and feathered but she’s in no hurry as long as it’s right

We put the mealworm feeder out and both Danny and Sandy have been helping themselves. Hopefully the greedy Robin saves enough for them 😁 we should have 5 eggs today, but she covers them well. Sandy has started partially incubating, so I think our count is likely to be 6 eggs🤞

That’s great progress Taz, think you’ve won the race Don’t thing my Kim is going to settle down and do something ordinary like lay an egg, still too busy with ‘nest design’ 6 seems a very small number of egg for a BT......she’s probably taking a rest after all that hectic nest building......7 or 8 probably

I used to have BT's but a lot kept failing, then I had a few years of nothing so tried GT nests. Hopefully Kim will get her butt into gear and start laying soon 🤣
