We're waiting to see whether or not we will have a breeding barn owl pair this year.

A barn owl (female we think) has roosted here most daytimes over the winter (though not as regularly as last winter).

We haven't seen her mate. We're waiting to see whether a mate appears, whether they do nest, and if so whether they nest here.

And alongside that, we wonder whether the box be taken over by tawny owls, or by stock doves. Check back later to see how it turns out…
