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.
She's back in!
And so is he
I've never seen a BO preen the other's tail feathers before
Then his wing tips
Female exited
Then the male. The 'click to play screen' came up so this is all I could capture of his departure
Female back in again. She was calling him, just look at her low position!
He's joined her!
He left the box...again!
And so has she! lol
Must sign off now. Goodnight

Edit - I have to deal with dinner, BBL
Still there
Thanks so much, Wendy, it did appear that she heard something before exiting the box

What a lovely surprise as I checked before settling down @ 00.41
Was some preening but just missed recording it ... https://youtu.be/5mSqOKG3U6A
Had to have another quick peek ... now she's eating him!
