Whose is this then?

If past experience is a guide to the future then at around 12:30 pm today I would have been expecting to get a nice neat white egg laid for me by Snowdrop in the near nesting box.

Past experience is NOT a guide to the future as this turned in at 10:00 am - but not in the nesting box, instead, on the floor of the run:

Number 7 arrived earlier today...

Oh dear - the only theory I had was that it was raining heavily at the time - perhaps she was just too settled to make that move upstairs?

A little corn and a grape or two later and then they had the first (and last) meeting with the spotty dog - the whole experience was a joy for Rosie but rather traumatic for the girls, so Rosie is now barred until the weather turns cold and then she can be confined to the sun lounge.  It's quote a good thing actually because now, instead of her turning up and sitting and eating biscuits here, I can go for a walk with her - better for everyone!

That would have been the end of my story, but... here we are at 12:25 pm and Snowdrop is sitting up in the near nesting box and making those sounds I can only associate with the impending arrival of an egg.  Looking more closely at egg number 7:

Look closer...

Aside from the bits of dirt it is of a softer hue than those above it - looks like I have another layer.  But who? 

The others "should" lay mid brown/dark brown/speckled and plum-coloured eggs.  A bit of internet checking and my odds are on Bluebell (the Bluebelle) as it might class as being plum-colured?

Tomorrow I shall have to lay in wait...oh, and now 12:35 and Snowdrop still sitting on the nest
