Happy New Year everyone!
Great start with lovely captures of our pair ... but mighty strange about that 'third' one ... maybe a late 'first footer' Lol!
Good to have some colour Scylla, hope you are continuing to improve!
Gales seem to be a bit of a fixture just lately, another blow overnight promised here, stay safe all!

Last sighting before daycam, two in the barn. I've set "enhancements" on YouTube to make the second owl's flyins and outs a bit clearer, took me ages to find them, had to watch real time. They were there for about 6 minutes. Plus, I've used different transitions from usual to try to make cuts obvious.
Oh I do have to tell the tale :-/
2m40s

Great! Thanks Scylla :)
3+ hours ago, a birdie on the back beam - I didn't stop to investigate it:
19:45 One in
I think it flew to the back of the barn, out of view. There was a little bird flitting around by the bucket, bottom right of centre.
It's sounding particularly breezy at the site.
20:47 It's just come back into view after doing a PS
21:01 Flew closer to the cam, to the right. Not on view so may well be on the middle beam, behind the diagonal
21:13 Came onto the front beam. Seemed very interested in something as it kept staring down towards the middle of the barn. After typing on here, it had gone 20:17. (Scylla?)
22:53 One behind the box. It flew downwards to the right after this scap
23:35 I can hear the odd tapping/clunking in the barn, nothing on view. Goodnight
I've got a couple of snaps from a recent entry, now on the back beam. But for some days I've been having sporadic but frequent problems posting, especially uploading pics - and now the Media box won't populate :'(
*****************
I've become confused and don't know if this was posted already

Then:
Barn Swallow (?) on the back beam for 3 minutes:
With any luck we should get more of this as summer kicks in :)

I think you're right, Scylla. That's the little visitor that's been flitting around recently :)
19:33 One just come in, onto the front beam (PS), middle beam, to the back, to the middle then the tray!
19:37
19:42 Barn swallow sitting on the bucket below in the barn. BO swaying from side-to-side
19:55
20:05
The little bird is still around in the barn
20:32 Preening
20:36
20:41 Don't be shy, come in and say hello...
20:49 Turned around, did a PS then flew to the middle beam. Out of view behind the diagonal
21:14 I heard it having a shake then it came into view on the middle beam. Jumped to the front beam and then left the barn
21:27 Badgered on both cams
21:28 Back now and in time to see one come into the barn. It did a PS, looked towards the bottom right of our screen before flying down in that direction. I saw a quick flash of white (maybe part of a wing(?) right of screen a few minutes later - could have left the barn but really unsure)
22:10 Nothing has been on view since and it's very quiet in the barn.
22:22 Badgered on both cams again
22:24 LS back
23:05 I've lost the LS again. Back on 23:07
23:45 No more activity to report. Goodnight
What I have overnight, starting at about 0100hr:
At least a couple of hours later...
A long time behind the box but I couldn't see how it got there:
Day dawned not long after the owl left, no more to report.
