*** 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
20:35 Female in the box, either breaking up pellets or eating. (I didn't see her arrive, I'm having a nightmare with IE at the moment)
20:38 She left the box and then the barn
00:00 Nothing else seen/heard this evening. Goodnight ladies :)
Morning Sandra
Box EN this one on back beam may have just arrived, can hear faint rasping, he was sitting with back to cam then moves an turns around.
06.44
Morning Kate :)
9:33 He's been preening while on the tray and is now resting. No sign of the female.
10:05 I wonder if the female has been on the beam, but out of view, all the time.
10:57 A pretty pair
A compilation of scaps taken between 11:19 and 11:35 The male has been preening a lot, a bit of kissy, kissy, and at one point the female struggled to get rid of a feather that was stuck to her beak.
Both at rest on the tray 12:05
Both were in the box, 12:34. The male went back out onto the tray 12:35
20 minutes of loveliness from 15:23 (they had just arrived back into the box after spending some more time on the tray)
Mr Handsome
He enjoyed a brief head preen from the female
17:20 Aww.......
19:30 Male on the back beam preening. The dulcet tones of the female can be heard!
19:34 Male flew from the beam past the cam (he was too quick for a scap). All quiet now in the barn.
20:56 Female came into the box making her loud rasping call. (Note the love heart bar on her tail!)
21:03 Flying out of the barn
22:51 One landed on the front beam, stayed there for a few minutes before flying to the back
Some lovely expressions there Sandra TY
All quiet at Mo Male on Tray mama sitting in midddle ( quiet at the moment)
