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 ;)
