Unfortunately, Barn Owls did not use this nest box last season. Here's hoping that this very much bonded pair of Barn Owls, who have been frequenting the box recently, decide to take up residency in 2021 and raise a healthy brood of owlets.

BO in the box. I think this is a new female. She was scraping and pecking at the flooring as well as the bird carcass on the right hand side.
Left the box approx.18:02 (missed her leaving)
You're welcome, Wendy. One in again (missed its arrival) not sure if it's the same BO
Wondering if this is the male?
Going by its facial features and position in the box, I'm pretty sure this is the male (but don't quote me! lol)
Up to the exit 19:59
Just caught another visit before it left. Female this time, I think
Perhaps courting, Kate? When she was in earlier, she appeared new to the box (looking up, to the sides etc.). She doesn't have the distinct 'chevrons' on her tail bars as the other female had IMO
Lol, Kate! :)
Fingers crossed!
