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!

Thanks Wendy :)
I can see little legs wiggling about to the far right of middle beam!
Still there at 20:35 It's very quiet in the barn
20:45 In the same position. I can hear a BO rasping
20:56 Silence
21:19 Rasping from one BO has started again
21:34 Female flew in, onto the tray and then in the box - rasping
21:39 She left the box and barn.
21:41 Middle beam BO, the male, went into the box
21:43 She(?) came back in, to the tray and then flew to the back beam. Disappeared at 21:44
21:48 Appeared again on the back beam - there is rasping (unsure if it's food begging calls). Flew downwards under the beams and out of view
21:52 Came onto the tray, looked through the pop hole before jumping onto the box and flying out. This appears to be a juvenile
21:54 Came back to the tray. There is a second juvenile close by as there are two separate food begging calls
22:02 Male came out of the box, frightened the juvenile who flew to the back of the barn. Male left.
22:03 One appeared to the side of the box, made its way to the right of the front beam. No calling from this one but there is food begging calls close by
22:20 FOOD DELIVERY!
22:23 Vehicle pulled up outside the barn - one juvenile flew to the back, the other flew forward so assume left the barn. I'm not sure if the prey was left on the tray
22:28 Both appeared behind the box. One flew out the other stayed, moved to middle beam, top of box then found the prey on the tray at 22:32
22:50 This juvenile is still on the tray food begging, no other calls can be heard
23:03 ANOTHER FOOD DELIVERY!
23:10 It isn't eating it, just toying with it on the tray. Continuing to food beg.
23:25 Unfortunately, I have to sign out. The juvenile is still on the tray calling.
23:25 Before I go, A THIRD DELIVERY! Another juvenile came into the barn after, both making food begging calls
All recorded by Wendy in vids below!
