18:27 Another attempt? I'd looked away and he was stood by the egg corner
18:32 She left the box to the tray
18:34 He's calling in the box for her again. She's on the back beam at 18:36
Went from back beam, to front, to tray, to middle, to box. Attempted mating but didn't look successful (18.40). Ian
EDIT - now both on front beam.
As per Ian's post above

18:40 She came into the box, another attempt at mating. He left the box, she followed
18:50
