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

Little on ensuring getting a share of the goodies being left around the box, they seem to be playing rather than eating.
Hi Kate, Sandra ... still huddling in that corner
Spreading out a bit more with one mostly under the lens
The youngest, I think, found some prey in the back left corner...and has just downed it!
Lol, Wendy!
2nd prey drop witnessed within the past 10 minutes (the first was dangled through the pop hole and grabbed)
I think another one was dropped off a little after this one too!
Spare prey on the flooring
