User's notes
Male scrabbled out of Track hollow around 4 for a peek, then 2.5hrs later, female was nestling in hollow. So - while I didn't see changeover, I believe that the fact the male and then female were in the hollow at separate times (with behaviour similar to last year when nesting) indicates they have begun incubation. TomT noted the male appearing in a similar fashion, four days ago - so perhaps they have been incubating for a week? Fingers crossed for success!

Not an identifiable one, unfortunately - but I might look more closely at her head feathering

Thanks Lisa - would it be possible for you to put together a list and the year of the trees that
1. Cheeky rose nested in
2. Rose beak nested in
3. Madonna nested in
4. Hollows that Cheeky rose had an interest in
5. Hollows that Rose beak nested in
6. Hollows that Madonna nested in
Bearing in mind that feather fattening may change with age
