[TeaPots]

only 2 and a half weeks before the nights start drawing in again. I must say I have had a couple of nights when I wanted my bed before they did...but it is a waste of time trying to put them in before they are ready. They go in in the wrong order, and come flying out in a flurry of feathers as the others put them them in their place.

They are only allowed in according to pecking order, but the lowest does go in first, and hides in the corner on the floor before the others pile in, otherwise he has to run the gauntlet and they all have a peck on his way in, bless.
