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!

Saw your diabolical weather on radar Kate with worse to come so really hope they get a chance to gather some prey!
She appeared on the middle beam (the juvenile BO, not Kate! lol) at 20:20 and left at 20:21
It sounds quite windy at the site.
20:45 I can't quite make out if there is a BO on the back beam or not
Yes, it does appear to be as it flew below the box and the up to the back behind the diagonal (too quick to capture it)
20:55 Went to the ledge for a couple of minutes then on the beam behind the box. Up onto the box, middle beam and then out of the barn at 20:58
22:40 The weather is not sounding very pleasant outside the barn. No sights or sounds from the youngsters
23:10 No other activity. Hoping they are all safe and well. Goodnight
Well here's one of them Sandra
Morning both
Still raining this one on back beam. Cam fuzzy, and I thought for a while ,frozen, as looks as though she is head turning CHOL:):) but it is the mark on wall.
10.29 EN/B or hiding
There is one in the corner of the middle beam (on the right side as we look). You can just see the tail (I assume) moving from time to time. Ian
EDIT - it now seems to have disappeared from view.
15:07 Just checked in to find the female in the box
Watching flies
15:19
15:26
15:34
15:36
I have to go now SYL
Me too but no record of exact time cos my cams went down! Grrrrrrrr
20:07 From being what I thought was an empty barn, she landed on the tray and then left
20:42 One on the back beam
20:58 One on the back beam
To the box and then left the barn
21:00 Back in, onto the middle beam
To the ledge
Onto the box again
21:01 A quick look and then left the barn
There has been no rasping
21:21 Now there is, very close to the barn, 4 or 5 long rasps. A brief lull and then the calls started again.
21:23 It came in onto the tray, then on top of the box and then flew to the back of the barn, out of view.
21:26 On the back beam, calling
21:40 After preening, went to the top of the box and then flew out. Still rasping
22:30 Still nearby and continuing to call
23:12 I thought there may have been a food delivery outside (quick, excited rasps from the juvenile) but it hasn't come into the barn and is continuing to give its usual call.
23:20 Two juveniles food begging now. The one I've been hearing throughout this evening has been the male (higher tone) in comparison to the female's lower tone
23:25 Both are very close to the barn, possibly at the exit. Goodnight
Morning all
One been on middle since I first checked 06.10
