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!
21:05 I can hear movement but nothing on show yet
21:07 Both are under the box, where the ladders used to be
21:12 One behind, one below the box. The one behind then flew out, the other one flew up to the top of the box and then left the barn
21:15
21:17 One back in, under the box again
21:19 Onto the top
Then the tray
And out
21:45 Rasping and then one flew in, on the tray and flew back out again. It continuing to call nearby and I think there was a food delivery.
21:48 One in and to the back ledge, I can't tell if it's eating but there are occasional rasps
21:51 He's out of view but still in the barn (or, I haven't seen him leave!)
22:01 Louder rasping now
22:24 Two juveniles food begging, very close
22:30 Food delivery outside, juvenile brought it in and to the tray. Took it to the left hand side to eat
22:35 The other juvenile is nearby, more food begging calls outside
22:41 It's the female juvenile that has eaten in the barn this time
22:43 She went to the middle beam when she had finished eating
22:45 She is quiet, he is still calling close to the barn
23:20 Both are rasping now. The juvenile male came in, onto the box, and there was a bit of a 'melee' between the pair of them! Both have gone down below the beams but are still calling/squabbling out of view.
She flew up to him from the beam
23:23 I have to sign off now, goodnight
Morning Wendy and Sandra
