*** 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.

Good morning ladies.
It's fantastic to see spare prey in the box, we haven't seen that for a long while!
Love the scaps, vids and comments, Scylla and Kate, thank you! :D
With the missing pictures, I've noticed that if you click on the 'x' that is in its place, either the scap appears or this page comes up
If you click on 'go back to the previous page', all the scaps show.
As Scylla mentioned , it does appear to be a fault with RSPB, number of posts querying on other threads throughout RSPB.
Possibly totally unrelated, but Chrome was playing up this morning, not loading or freezing, and My AV said it needed to be updated then when I log out and back in in acted normally,, a hacker about Doh!!????

This is what they were conflabbing about:
And these came out of one of the fragments, which were too many and too tiny to keep.

Trouble is, in Firefox I'm getting no 'x', but this:
Clicking on the 'strip' leads to a blank page with a long message at the top ending in something like "cannot be displayed as there are errors".
So it must be something at RSPB end and not ours then. I'm on IE11
It is no better on google Chrome!

21:48 2 in the box, one (#3?) on the tray, calling
I haven't seen any food drops yet (I've been watching for over an hour)
21:56 #1 up to the pop hole
22:06 Delivery to #1. #2 and #3 were in the box at the time
22:08 All 3 in the barn.
22:13, #1 flew towards the cam and out of view (missed the scap)
22:19 #1 behind the box
22:20 Then on top of it
22:27 #1 on the box after flying back
22:28 #3 attacking cam
22:30 #2 joined #3
22:31 #3 went out. A sweet look from #2
22:41 Delivery to #1
#1 came into the box with the prey, both owlets tried to snatch it
22:58 #1 near right corner, #2? preening and #3? on the tray
23:10 - 23:18 I had to restart my computer so don't know if I've missed any prey deliveries. All 3 owlets on the tray
23:29 Delivery which #1 took and toyed with while the other two continued to call.
23:38 #1 brought the prey into the box quickly followed by #3, there started a pursuit. #2 joined them and finally managed to snatch and then down the prey
23:50 Delivery to #3 on the tray who downed immediately. #1 went back out leaving #2 in the box. All 3 owlets were in the barn at 23:55
00:00 Delivery grabbed by #3? on the tray. Brought it into the box to eat and was followed in by #2?
00:07 Delivery to #1 who brought it into the box and left it on the flooring
00:15 6 deliveries, all have eaten. Goodnight ladies :)
Thanks Sandra ... mixed fortunes with viewing captures, sometimes lucky clicking on icon having it open in separate window but often not! Suppose it will be righted soon!
