The first (recorded) female arrived at the College yesterday morning. She remained on the front of the building near the nesting box for about 20 minutes while the male showed off his flying skills. I only managed a pic from the ground floor with my phone, so just a record shot. I am hoping that the YouTube feed will be up and running again within a couple of weeks. I will post the relevant links when they are live.
A HUGE thank you to the IT Department for getting these up and running!
