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!

Manners, Mrs. K!
A couple of snippets from quite early this morning.
The eyas hadn't retreated, it was already away from the entrance. The Jackdaws didn't get any closer.
This was either a monster hornet or a nano-tigerlet or... ???

Nice mammal from Dad for a late breakfast:
It's a tight squeeze for 2 sitting:
MrsK brought a tiny 'mouse':
They're starting to flex their wings - at least, the eldest is:

Great catch, SWEETWING! I'll see if I can find it and do a movie :) Still got the whole day from pre-dawn to do.
MrsK left @ 06:16, dropping like a stone (but with more control, I dare say ;) ). You can't see any eyases but they had been showing themselves:
10 minutes later she was back. She seemed to have come as a safety precaution, and after perching at the entrance for a while she took up her nighttime sentry post, leaving in the same direction but differently @ 07:10:
40 minutes later she delivered breakfast:
I wondered if this was a mole but couldn't find a suitable picture to compare, no idea re relative size - ended up watching an Australian Marsupial Mole... it's no wonder I can't get anything done
She had to take it back and serve it, they obviously couldn't manage it on their own.
The other one wouldn't co-operate :(
Nearly ready!
Startled youngster stepped on sib's toe:
The inside lens has been obscured by one thing or another for many, many hours in between cleans.
I'll continue in another posting box, just in case the system objects to too many snaps.
