Starting new thread in vain hope we see some action in this nest box! 2019 thread here ... https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/wildlife-on-the-web/200196/blue-house-farm-barn-owls-2019-c-essex-wildlife-trust/1234423#pifragment-4285=33

23:50 Goodnight
Good evening 18:18 Female has entered the box. I noticed this morning that there was a new pellet that had been cast overnight (back right corner)
18:24
18:26 She'd left
20:33 Female was in and calling. Male came in and they mated
20:34 Post mating, male checking the flooring
21:30 Whoa! From resting, they both looked round to the exit and immediately left the box! Female went first
22:09 One, possibly the male, safely back in the box
Edit - Male, confirmed by the same feather pattern on his right wing as per yesterday's visit at 23:21 >>>
22:41
00:05 He's still sleeping soundly. Goodnight
18:25 Dinner time here and the female has just entered the box! Good to see her safe and well after that dash out from the box last night!
Lol Wendy! :)
It might work out better once the clocks go forward
