When will the first egg be laid?
Both our nestboxes are receiving more attention now, so you are invited to submit your estimated day for the laying of the first egg in each box.
Some records to assist you - in Box 1, the dates were April 25th 2001, April 18th 2002 and April 24th 2003.
We didn't have a camera in Box 2 until 2002, and we were away when the first egg was laid - but there were 2 eggs when we came home on April 8th, so these were possibly laid on the 7th and 8th. In 2003 the first egg was laid on April 25th.
Please submit entries here (or via PM) by April 6th. No prizes for the winners - but if you ask nicely, you can have a photo of the winning egg! :eek!: These photos show the state of the boxes this morning - and you can also look at our website if you want to study "form"! (Box 1 is on the left).
