New male who I've named Colin gave us a miss over Xmas & New Year's day so was very pleased to see him this afternoon, giving me a reason to start new thread in the hope there's some romance this year!
Grim & grey day here so light was bad for pics @ almost 15.00
Resolution in vid was a great improvement ... he looks almost too pretty to be a boy!! Trademark ending though ... start as you mean to go on!

Lot to learn
Thank you for the unwelcome news, Peter :( There must have been an outage for the terrible event - in fact, thinking back, I did have some very short clips (instead of 6 hours each) and I meant to tell fellow watchers that I had one 20-minute clip in which no living creature (apart from the odd insect on the wall) was seen!
I copied the relevant "indoor" clip into OneDrive, but every time I went to email you the link to the folder it attached the actual file = 1.4GB

10 June
I've still got that "empty" 20-minute clip - it was from 03:58, that makes sense.
I'm only seeing MrsK at the "cavity" (I forget what we're calling it). Mr must be passing her the items elsewhere - is that how they usually do it?
Front & back of adventurous eyas - this is the first time I've noticed one looking out:
I'm not sure if this is the same one:
Is this why were seeing less poo on the lens?
Developing well but pushing its luck - the Jackdaw lost interest:
Eek! It didn't stay:
Ahhh, there he is! Followed in, and he gave chase:
MrsK turned up @ 19:55 and stayed perched outside for 25 minutes, then flew off - parents must be roosting nearby.
There were more sightings on an eyas inside the entrance but nothing more to report by 04:10 on the morning of the 11th.
@Carnyx FYI, the bar (outside) cam did drop out @ 17:32 but picked up again within 1 minute.
Oops, I've forgotten the day but I think this was a couple of days ago: the 9th, early afternoon:
11 June
Breakfast was served in a blur by MrK @ 04:34 and again @ 04:45.
MrsK arrived with food @ 05:06:
He took it away again! Was it because MrsK was already in there? She came out and looked for him (I speculate):
Late morning:
12:50 - So many bird victims
Well that's strange - the barn cam went down @ 17:32 and came back up again @ 17:30. Go figure
A video of scenes from the day until nighttime:
NB - I can only count THREE eyases. Sometimes their shoulder feathers can look like another head. I stand to be corrected.
MrsK stayed on duty in the same place on the ledge all night. A Jackdaw flew in and perched beside her @ 04:37, she didn't fly off until 05:21:
And just over 2 minutes later she was back with a small bird.
I've been returning to the inside footage again and again and have nearly gone blind... and look what I think I've found from the past few hours - I've sent the snap off to Peter, with the info that I have seen an eye on each of the 3 central birds and there's one lying under the cam.
Goodness me, not seen Colin since 11th May, must have been raising his babies
