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!

Hi peeps ... saw this in wee small hours
Followed by this
Then I went to sleep & woke late! Lol
Hi Wendy
Good little vid thank you. SYL
16.55 one in Box and not sure where this one on Beam came from.
comes out to Barn
after much head swinging from bothe back beam moves to side out of view.
17.30 think back beam must have flown out and back in.
Thanks for the updates today :)
20:20 Only one in view, on the back beam, but I can hear clattering so the other one maybe around.
Wing stretch - looks like the juvenile male
20:27 Juvenile female is hiding behind the diagonal, I can see movement :)
20:45
21:03 She flew out, he moved to the middle beam
An occasional call from him now
21:21 He left the barn. Met up with her again on the exit hole I assume (some chattering). Silence 21:23
21:47 Rasping from one close by
22:10 Sounded like a food delivery, nothing on view yet
22:11 He flew in, onto the back beam for a split second then started eating on the ledge
He's still calling but I can't see him
22:25 There he is!
And out
22:57 A different call - more like defensive hissing
23:00 Back to food begging
23:03 Loud calling - food delivery. Juvenile male into the barn with prey. Eating on the tray
23:09 Still eating (and rasping!)
23:13 Left the barn
23:14 Back in with more prey! The other juvenile is calling outside now. Prey has been placed in the tray
23:22 To the middle beam
Then the back
23:32 The was a very loud exchange of rasping (within the barn) but missed it while posting the scaps on here (Another food delivery?). I can still hear him calling in the barn but is not on view. Food begging outside the barn as well 23:36. Goodnight
Morning Sandra
Plenty of food, good to see.
Only one visible in Barn pic identical to your first scap last evening.
Good morning Kate :)
7:40 It's still in the same position. Very quiet apart from a fly buzzing around in the box.
9:04 Aha! The other is behind the diagonal on the middle beam :)
9:12 He came into the box followed by the female at 9:13
One for Kate :)
9:16 Fly watching! Male on the left
Both now resting in the nestbox
Lovely captures ... Afternoon all!
