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

She's come back in and is calling
Now resting
Preening
She moved over. There's a nice space for the male should he decide to pop in to join her
The female is still resting in the same position as above. The male has not visited while I've been watching this evening.
I was just signing off for the night when I noticed the female was in
Morning Kate, :)
Apologies for the smaller than usual pic, I posted it from my phone as I'd already closed my laptop down for the night.
The female is in. Hoping that the male is ok.
