Molly sniffing and abandoned nest
Molly decided to try and build a nest in the middle of the grass. She seems to have moved the soil quite a way. I was expecting to see a mound.
( she didnt dig up the grass as there was a plant pot there which has killed the grass which I moved to block the tunnel to stop the others bothering her) And here is her sniffing around again in the greenhouse when I returned home. I was out for just over 2 hours and she had made the hole in this time. |

Well hopefully she will soon go all the way and actually lay. I have my fingers crossed for you

If you fill it in Claire she might well go back and lay there. I have a female ibera who loves to dig
trial nests all over my lawn. Nearly always goes back to the first one.

Thats the second, the first was 2-3 days ago in the corner of the greenhouse. Ive filled both in. Soo exciting! but stressful watching her. She is still walking! almost 9pm.
