16:11 It flew from the tray to the back beam
16:57 Still there but barely visible

17:18 I think it may have left the barn, it doesn't appear to be in view on the back beam

It was still in sight at about 17.05, but I can't see it now. It may have flown or be hiding (says he stating the obvious!). Ian

2019 Nestcam Diary link

January 2019
8th – quite a lot of activity has been reported over the festive break, with the pair frequently roosting together in the nestbox. There has also been some mutual preening and even a cached food item, which was seen to be eaten by the presumed female. It’s been largely mild and still in recent weeks so we’re hoping the birds are in really good condition, ready for the spring.
Sandra, thanks for the update. Ian
