Perhaps she doesn't like the way that interloping 'flousy' rearranged the pebbles  :P

If I recall, TPC was in there about a week or two ago messing about........
Or were you talking about a different flousy ?    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Princess is right at the back of the nestbox and staring right into the camera lens ... she's been there for about 10 minutes so I'm getting a wee bit suspicious ...could be wrong and she just wants a break or ...

Have just watched the latest video with the two kids making out.

What is trully incredible is how small Ivy looks that close to Princess. He is one brave boy; no wonder he listens to her.

Princess is in the nestbox ... she's rooting around and glaring at pebbles again ...

Probably willing the pebbles to assume whatever shape she thinks is perfect for her needs. ahhhh Princess...

Ivy dropped by ... Princess gave him the "pebble glare" and he left ... she however hasn't moved so much as a muscle ...

Someone is sitting in the nest box, and there is a goose sitting on the short part of the hydrto building!

Still looks like a snotty look though.  ::)

Bahahaha good one Carly. I think it's just Princess being the royal witch that she is. One bird with a great big attitude.

Princess is on the west-side sign preening her tail feathers.  Not sure where Ivy has gotten to, he was on the edge of the box in a patch of sun the last I saw him (about 15 minutes ago).

Nice to see Princess on the nestbox this morning ... no eggs in the scrape, but one step at a time ...
Is it actually anytime now for the first egg?

It is bcbird.  Last year I believe first egg was laid on the 17th, last on the 23rd. (will double-check my records when I get home)

At present I'm watching Princess prowl around the nestbox, peering in corners, glaring at individual pebbles, then practically wearing off her breast feathers as she slides breast-first along the gravel (will be sure to post a video of that tonight).  And then she snottily "looks" at the camera, which is just an optical illusion because she's actually looking out of the box with one eye rather than looking straight ahead at the camera.  Still looks like a snotty look though.  ::)

She was in the box shortly after 0930 this morning and he is continuing his vigil on the nestbox edge, with quick trips off periodically to do I'm not sure ....  ;)
