*** 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.

Are they? They look ok to me, Kate
20:02 Another delivery!
20:07 Dad in again with a prey drop. #1 brought it into the box. #3 followed and tried to snatch but no luck

Oh thank goodness for that! :)
We're up to 3 drops already! Have a good evening Kate :D
20:31 4th delivery went to #2 who brought it into the box. #3, who was still in the box tried to snatch it but was unlucky again. #2 downed its prey
20:38 #1 in the barn
20:40 5th delivery taken by #1 on the tray
20:43 #1 brought the prey into the box. #3 is quite hungry.
20:46 #2 managed to snatch the prey. As he was eating, there was another delivery - 20:47 - grabbed by #3
20:55 And another one, grabbed by #2
21:02 #2 looking
21:04 Delivery grabbed by #2. #1 attacked dad. 2 prey items are uneaten now, #1 picked one up from the flooring

I noticed that as I was editing. I closed the site and upon return, the scaps were there. :)
22:21 #1 wing stretch
22:22 #3 moved out from the corner (right)
22:40 #1 with its landing gear down! ;lD
Looked through the pop hole and #2 grabbed hold of the prey it's been protecting.
22:55 L-R #2, #1, #3? (definitely #1 in the middle anyway! lol)
23:02 Owlet on the left with spare prey
23:07 Eating
23:16 The owlet moved the left over prey item to under the pop hole where its sibling managed to find and continue eating it.
23:18 Delivery. The owlet which took delivery, moved to the left middle of the box and downed the prey.
23:20 The owlet on the right took spare prey away from #1 and took it to the near right corner
23:35 Delivery grabbed by #1 and left on the flooring
23:44 Delivery by mum, grabbed by #1 and left on the flooring again
23:49
23:50 10 prey drops so far the majority of which have been delivered by dad (as much as I could see when the adults entered the box). Three spare prey items on the flooring that I can see. Goodnight ladies :)
(I hope you're enjoying your cuppa, Kate! lol) ;D
Non-displaying pictures have been a problem on all the LG forums too, since yesterday morning :-/ I just refreshed and got the missing pics back.
Just now - they have a secret ;)
I've got hundreds of fragments downloaded -/
I think this shows the first 3 prey-drops yesterday evening and a little tour of the barn by one owlet. What a shame no sound, especially for the landing-on-beam thumps ;)
6m13s
And this was a few moments ago, the sitting owlet hasn't moved as I type :)
