Quick check on the nest as I am really busy catching up in the garden today
Feed going on just now. She also fed them about 30 minutes ago so this is seconds:-)
I am really concerned about that matted hay or whatever it is!
Check back later BFN

Sandra - thanks for all the updates.
I was hoping to see that matted material gone but it remains and yes - a mess also so dangerous :-(
Another feed going on - #4 is at the back
the older bobs are lined up in front
Maya stretching round -
the cam keeps freezing so hard to follow and see who is getting what!
