Babe
has laid another egg - five so far. How many more will she lay?
The
eggs are quite spotted. My book describes them as being "White;
with spots, specks and small blotches of purplish-red, and some pale
purple. Markings variable, usually rather profuse, occasionally
sparse, rarely absent. 17.5x13.5mm"
I think that just about sums it up!
What's
getting at Kelly this time? She looks as though she is in her
"repelling invaders" mood again!
She needn't
have worried - a nuthatch is too big to get through the entrance hole.
Clearly, however, we should think about an even bigger hole on a box next year. It would be nice to see a very different species nesting.
