Or should that be three birds on the shelf? Or One Wooden bird meets two paper birds? Or should a handy bird sit on the shelf? Like me these three insider birds have been waiting for the outside birds - see below - to hatch their eggs. It seems that the incubation time has past and the eggs - with the sad exception of one that was blown off in a perfectly dreadful stormy night three weeks ago - and the dutiful tawny frogmouth will not have chicks. Still maybe next year.
