Any of those. They have 3 or 4 broods, possibly more, depending on success or otherwise. If the nest fails for any reason they get straight on and have another attempt. If it is successful and the birds fledge, the female starts building a new nest almost the minute the last baby has fledged.

Aha thanks for that, I shall watch with interest, from afar of course.
