Went up tree and found a nice new hole about 1 foot above it. Of course I left my climbing gear (otherwise I wouldn't have found anything) I'll climb it tomorrow. 3 May 1430 Well, well, Changes. There are 3 birds here. And I think they'll nest in the 'traditional' tree. But which hole? Prob not the 'trawl' hole - it had only a few fresh chips in it. However, the hole above it is in ship shape - lots new chips. There's also a SE facing hole about a foot above or around From said hole. It too has fresh chips. 7 May 1600 Climbed the holes again (thunder ☀️ overhead). All empty. The new one (facing west) still looks likeliest. Saw 4 birds Flush From 'nest' tree upon arrival! 14 May W/H reports 4th egg laid on 13 May. Nest is new NE facing hole (see above) 26 May 1330 Failed. 1 egg unhatched. Several shells. Starvation? 25 June 1215 Acorn Count : 50
