RCF:
Now she's just standing in the corner of the box.
RCF:
I know this is a bit long, but it shows her picking pebbles and doing some scraping. It just looks like she may be getting ready to lay an egg.

I knew you meant to put in a timeline, TPC. Thanks for the clarification.
Looks like we might be getting an egg soon! Dad and the female (is it Dot?) were chupping awhile ago as he offered her a songbird, feathers and all. She didn't seem to be interested, so he left with the untouched lunch and now she's moving around the box as though she might have a plan ??? Looks like she's cleaning up...and she looks a little bottom-heavy...
Wishful thinking on my part maybe... ::)

Sorry, TPC, you lost me ??? Did you mean "if they haven't nested - by a certain time - "? like by the end of May or...??

Sorry tried to include two thoughts in one description.
Meant to say:
a) if they haven't nested by the end of May in the nestbox then they probably aren't going to nest in the nestbox this year.
b) if they haven't been reported nesting somewhere else by the end of May, they probably aren't going to nest anywhere this year.
But again that's the norm, there have been pairs who nest later but that's usually because they arrived later or they lost their first nest and are trying again.
Hope that's clearer :D
