At last the new nest box is being used properly, but not by the owls. A squirrel has spent the past few days filling it with nest material and it has now laid an egg. Hopefully the first of a few (squirrels lay up to eight each year). Won’t be long before we have lots of cute little baby critters!
OK, squirrels don’t lay eggs, except on April 1! Just for clarity, the squirrel did make the nest, but the egg is due to a stock dove who took it over when the squirrel left.
