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!

Nobody emerged for dinner! (They were both in the Jackdaws' house.)

The cam cavity was empty all night from 21:00:
MrsK came with breakfast @ 04:32, no takers so she ate some of it at least:
Just before 05:00 the 2 eyases emerged from the Jackdaw residence and started their day, which would be very red-letter - they both soon fledged !!! 05:10 and 07:49.
Since then, there's been an attempted prey drop, taken away, and I think an eyas came looking for food but can't be sure who it was. I'll do a vid asap.

No, I think it was MrsK, given behaviour inside - but I can't tell the difference otherwise:
He brought prey twice in the afternoon, both times calling for the eyases, and the second time he looked in their Jackdaw hidey-hole:
Dad brought a rodent in the evening, waited a minute before flying off:
