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!

Just looked at the video of the one being returned, well done that man!!!!! Very much hope the fourth one is found safely.
Post edit, hadn't seen the next page when I typed the above.
What a shame, fingers crossed now for no more disasters.
Lot to learn
Lens waiting for a clean:
A nice rodent from MrK:
Another eyas ventures along the ledge, but it's scary ;)
Aww
IMAGICAT
The outside cam went into a longish buffer and cut off, resumed OK.
Couple more snaps:
Poor light, but see the sibling watching from along the ledge:
The 3 survivors and a neighbour:
Only one alert:
A shadow flies by and a bird flies in, perches at Jackdaws' quarters for a short while. I can't decide whether the percher was MrsK or a small owl :-/
It's been a wet day so far, several meals delivered, some wingercising.
The cows will get piles on that wet grass:
Thanks for reports - I'm in a long "heat problems" phase lately, WENDY, so can't perform as I'd wish.

I think so, GAYNOR - a Jackdaw emerged with a white feather, I think. However, cut-off points have been very unfortunate so I'm hoping nothing was missed in between stops 'n restarts.
The other 2 are OK, I'll do a little vid now.

No I won't, it's not economically worthwhile. They're both OK. A singleton keeps trotting up to the nest hole to check who's there, then back to the Jackdaw hole.
