Fri Apr 18 13th 8.30 - arrived at no 4 - bird on tree top but not seem to flush - not badly tuffed due to heavy wind of last week - eggs however wanted war though difficulty of souping them in nest was considerable. Egg 4 show definite out-pushing and probably fault of 123 also But 5 - showed definite internal scratches. 6 - not touched seemingly. 7? straightened nest cup and bird clacked and scolded on returning to it but after three trips, it finally settled. A fine mist falling. - rain at Tuney. I left at 8.51. Two birds equally light - quarter lighter if anything? Arrived at no 7 at 9.10 - no birds on wire - nor any heard a rum for 35 min while I wrote notes. At 9.45 I went to nest - bird sitting and flushed as I walked under tree. Birds - both - came equally close and chestnut without hint of a racket. Nest still well shaped and the cup deep. 7 eggs OK. Arrived at no 6 at 10.05 - both birds in tree - I did not disturb them but who went around to the nearest observation post and
