Fluffy's five eggs and Fantail's clutch
Fluffy has FIVE eggs - but Fantail is being as secretive as ever. However, we think she has four or five too. Four of Fluffy's eggs can be seen easily in the left hand picture, and a fifth is partially hidden by a feather.

Fantail seems a bit confused. In the following picture, she has brought in a titbit for her chicks to eat - apparently forgetting that they have to hatch first! Shortly after, Fred brought something in for Fantail, which she graciously accepted.

So how many eggs has Fantail got? At least there can be no doubt about Fluffy's clutch. (These pictures have been enlarged a bit to make the egg count easier!) Seeing that Fantail started laying a day before Fluffy, the pictures below are a little surprising.
