At the moment Bluebell and Dotty seem to be totally in sync with each other when it comes to their egg laying. For the last three days they have both gone into the nest box together and a short while later I have found their eggs side by side.

The dogwood shrub that I planted in the run recently is just getting leaves and flower buds after being just bare sticks for ages. I have had to move the log close to it as the girls keep scratching at the roots despite the pebbles around it.

I thought I would photograph it now, then again later when its in flower to chart it’s progress. I am pleased that it is surviving the girls attentions.
