  • Last night between the barn door being opened and Kate getting going ;) ...

    Female was in the box, male entered, short 'n lively interlude (wait for screech) - after she left, the male hung around for a minute and exited.

    EDIT - as I was making my first post there was some coming & going, I think at one point both had left but one came back & is now on the front beam.

    21:53 It flew to the exit

    22:26 There was a flash of white at the lower middle part of the screen going up and off to the left, don't know what it was, maybe a large moth close to the cam

    22:40 EN/EB Goodnight

  • (The Community was down when I tried to get in yesterday.)

    Not long after you signed off, SANDRA, a quick in 'n out:

    Then only a short time later - only about 3 minutes checking the floor:

    Then there was a fly-in to the back beam, only stayed a short while and out the way it came.

    Then a fly-in to front beam, stayed an hour then went to middle beam, stayed half an hour and then to tray and into box, only stayed a minute:

    Had a scratch on the tray then flew downwards - did it see a mouse?

    That's up to 00:40hr.

    (I did actually put the sound on the above 2 hours of barn but couldn't get it anywhere near synchronised.)

    Since then, more ins and outs but am too tired to detail them, but I thought you'd like to see 2 little heads behind the box ;)
