Four eggs laid and now sitting - we had an egg laid on mon, tue, thur and friday - then it would appear she has started to sit saturday afternoon.

four eggs is very normal for swallows, occasionally there will be 3 or 5 eggs, and once I observed 6 (I have watched thirty something nests now)

It would appear that they have added a lot more feathers during the egg laying period, but have not added any more mud or straw!
