*** 2017 *** Happy New Year !!!
Welcome to our little group following the Cornish Barn Owls, hoping for a successful season in 2017.
We have a couple (female ringed) getting to know each other, no mating yet (that we have seen).
There was a visit to the barn earlier, didn't stay long, floated out stage right:
Techie note for newbies:
The barn cam is still badgering a lot and while it's not the stream is still on-off-on-off - the intermittent sound being the telltale - and there's a huge, variable lag on it.
IMAGICAT
Both in box 10.23
13.53
Time to spruce up.
Lovely scaps Kate, thank you! :D

Some of this afternoon's "activities":

I shan't worry about this couple until "you" tell me there's a change/progress in behaviour. Alessondra's nest is close to pipping...
... oh heck! that's reminded me I forgot to take the sound off the above vid, which has the OKC sound on it And I had drummed it into myself while it was cropping :'(
Many thanks Scylla, it's a lovely video! These two appear very loving towards each other. Will let you know if/when anything else develops. :)
One on the back beam at 19:40
19:48 Empty barn but I can hear faint rasping calls.
