Hooting around the traditional nest place, I am not 100% sure, but I think I heard Leo farther away short before one could hear Lotte close.
Short before the cam moves upwards to Lotte on the roof a mouse escapes from traditional nest place before Lotte could think about having her for breakfast :mrgreen:

Lotte left, someone had caught her attention and she maybe had to look after things going on.
She kept on hooting with Leo after she took off

She had her left eye nearly completely closed for a while and only the right one was opened, but it looks that the left eye works "normal" when she needs it ...
