As you say..compare the size of its web strands,and you get more of an idea of its true size....
2.12.20 Male in the box, he wasn't there when I checked almost an hour ago
He's still in the same position as I sign off at 23:55 - goodnight
Yay!!! one just arrived( I think ) unless it was just shaking its feathers before settling
Yay! Hi Kate, It appears to be the male. He was cleaning his mucky talons, perhaps he's already hunted?
something spooked him !
EDIT whatever is bothering him he now gone 17.20
Lovely snap, Kate! He's left the box now Edit - just seen your 2nd snap
ha! must have been editing mine as you typed CHOL:): Twas funny earlier as I have Lorton bookmarked immediately below this one, I saw him arrive and thought I would look at the comments beneath and it said last seen Nov,
so my granny brain is saying 'what' then it dawned I was on this site Doh!!!!!!
