Yes it is a perfect place for her to have her babies, and a pretty intelligent choice. Foxes can't get in, and there are many trees surrounding the lawn, and a nice big shrub to hide under, so a Buzzard wouldn't be able to stake them out. Also I have no dogs or cats.
Yes there are just two babies. I kept a watch today but didn't see them. I was beginning to believe they must have gone (somehow!) But then about lunchtime I walked round the side of the wood shed, and a fast rustle in the ivy/dead leaves etc there told me they are still around. I doubt if I'll get to take a picture though. I try to leave them in peace mostly.
The worst thing is when the grass needs cutting. But they must have been there well before I last cut it, so they were not TOO freaked out by that obviously!
