*** 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
It's gone mono already since this snap:
SunnyKate2 said:Altera I reckon a couple of days yet, maybe 4th....
Thanks for that, KATE, I don't have the laying dates.
20:21 Both on the back beam, kissy kissy
20:27 Resting close together
I'm getting lots of the LS stalling and badgers
21:30 Both still there.
22:15 They can't be ready for their dinner yet, both still on the back beam
23:10 The male was preening the female
They then settled back to resting
00:02 Both still on the back beam (male behind the box); female making her usual rasping calls.
Goodnight ladies :)

Morning both
Good caps Sandra. one has arrived on the Tray.
P.S just info..... if cap has the Barn owl logo I tend to omit the Copyright, as it is obvious ( or I think so anywayssss x)
Fed up with waiting gone into box 10.52 ish ( think male?)
Oh excellent captures, Scylla! :D
19:40 Both still in the box.
Yay! and Whoa! Lovely lovely, all I have seen all day was statue like Grr!!!
22:00 Both are playing Kate's favourite game of 'statues'! lol ;D
22:07 Female preening
22:16
22:24
22:38
23:42 The male started to prepare to go out of the box. The female put her head down and raised her tail, I'd imagine she was expecting him to mate with her. Sadly, he left the box. The female followed him out at 23:44
Morning Sandra
Good evenings work fro yoo hoo.
Both on the Tray BUT stirring Mrs rasping. VERY wet and stormy night you can still hear the wind.
