Morning all, nothing else to add, still empty. Ian
Am sure was behind box again about 16.45, but is now on back beam far right.
17.11 flew straight out to front.
Thanks Kate
17:27 One back in, onto the tray and then into the box. Had a look around, moving pellets, before going out and finally flying to the exit @17:31
21:55 No activity to report since the BO left the barn
22:04 One in, onto the front beam, looked towards the back of the barn and then left almost immediately. It flew quite close to the camera on exit
23:10 EN/EB Goodnight
Good morning all
7:10 EN/EB
7:13 One in, onto the tray and then gone. Loud screech
Well spotted Sandra
They are so quick when they pop in and pop out. Interesting behaviour, wonder if it has something to do with Weather patterns?
Fascinating being able to observe.
Have a good Day I will(also) CHOL:):) pop in an out ,and post if seen.
07.45, box and barn still empty. Ian
I had 24 hours continuous (that's nothing! I had 42 the other day :o ) up to 03:00hr with hardly any activity - it covered a brief stay in the box and a front beam on/off and 1h08m on the back beam in the early hours.
I am downloading all the time but never get around to checking thru it, but if you want anything clarified/whatever, do tell me.
If there are signs of breeding, I'll try to be more conscientious.
IMAGICAT

Thanks Scylla and Ian.

11.15 in the box having a good scrape all round, then back out on to tray
