As with the 2020 season, barn owls did not use the box for breeding in 2021, will this year be different?

Hopefully, just a reset of the 'hub' when power is restored will do the trick, Wendy.

There should be 5, Wendy, the youngest hatched yesterday. Not clear in Kate's pics or the vid. Perhaps it was hiding under one of the others.
Thanks Ladies
Wendy, a title change for your vid?

Could this be a new shell?
