Bluey has been sitting on her eggs for a few days now, eating only briefly to feed at odd intervals. The male is in evidence, but we've only once seen him bring her food. He is guarding the area whilst she nips out though. With our feeders still in place, it isn't taking her very long to get topped up.
We think the clutch size is nine, although she keeps hiding the eggs when she goes out, with just a few on show. If they all hatch we'll know how many eggs there were - you can't hide a hungry chick!
