Disappeared again!!
Back at 20:05
20:13 Male in and there were THREE matings, only less than 30 seconds between each one!
20:15 He left. I bet she's thinking 'thank goodness for that'!' lol
Just checked again and she was eating. Could that have been prey on the flooring in that area in our earlier scaps Wendy?
21:32 He came into the box and handed over a prey gift (she actually stood up and grabbed it from him), mated and then left. She stood with the prey, continuing to call, before placing it in the middle of the flooring. She then settled back on her two eggs
21:36
22:02 I had to restart my computer, on return, the prey on the flooring had gone!
22:20 She must have moved the prey closer to her, near to the far right corner. Still two eggs
Goodnight
Well stocked up with prey & still two eggs, must go to bed now ...
Wonder what we'll see in the morning?
Pretty sure THIRD EGG arrived couple of minutes after midnight but she was so distracted & perturbed by something going on outside that she didn't move to reveal til 00.09 ... still worried & was possibly alarm calling!
Vid footage on my YT but cannot post until tomorrow mid-morning!
