Well since then, frantic activity on a daily basis. Birds in, birds
out. Nesting material in by the lorry load, well no, someone will
pick me up for that, 'lots of it', complete with beakfulls of mossy
stuff over the last few days.

Today? No activity whatsoever!!

Why? Now sitting, or, dummy nest and they are on another nest
somewhere?

They can lay clutches of up to a dozen eggs. At one a day this takes nearly
a fortnight. During that time they won't go near the nest often and the eggs
are likely to be brooded only at night just to make sure they don't die of
freezing. During the day they are cool so they all hatch together. It's
quite a long interregnum...
