1930. Well, "2" success. Two girls spent stayed in the hole; I was either 81234 or 81870; since the latter is a helper I'll presume the former. The 2nd I missed! I'll have to try again to confirm.
13 May
1935. Tonight 81874 and 81234 entered the hole; the 8 left leaving 81234 to roost alone in the nest tonight.
81234 roosted
