12 May In between here, Philip recorded a clutch of 4 in the main
tree which was abandoned prior to hatching, after which
the eggs eventually disappeared. Today I found the ♀
in the low hole in the 2° tree where she has 4 eggs which
are not fresh.
3 June Tried to net in front of the hole with no luck this
morning.

acorns" remain here.
