FalconCam Project, Orange, NSW - Peregrines 2017

Portrait:

Prey drops:

Kids bigger than parent ;)

Another scrap has been filched - I couldn't get a half-decent view of it, but at least it shows behaviour developing :)

Another feed at getting-dim time:

This is certainly Xavier:

You're not going to get fed there:

What a great snap, Clare !!! :)

Mealtime snaps

I didn't find an earlier breakfast:

Slideshow - Bali nicks both the feet !!!

27s

Wing 'n tail shots

Post-prandial collapse ;)

Pooped right out the door!

See our grown-up feathers pushing thru ;)

The first sign of food was this freezy-glitchy scene @ 0838hr:

Haha!  Clever chick, Di and sib were left standing ;-D

Sibling twigged and muscled in:

Diamond had to pry it away from the chicks at the back of the scrape:

First, only one chick was up for it:

Then both:

A tug-o-prey ensued, which Di won:

Watching Mama tidying up:

Isn't it time for elevenses?

The ledge cam skipped onto this scene and promptly froze again, but at least we can see there was a meal:

I didn't think to note the time as I deleted the first file, not knowing what a serious outage it was going to be, but the two cams were black for at least 6 hours until 17:38hr !!!

Another meal, Bali got a head start:

Nothing more informative on the ledge.

30s SLIDESHOW

The latest update from Cilla:

Here we go again, venturing into the freezes and jiggles and blackages... ;)  I'm starting this @ 0900hr GMT, let's see how long it takes (minus bathroom breaks and coffee-making).

.

First sign of breakfast:

Look who grabbed it !!!

No sign on the nest cam until 0800, thiis must have been the last scrap:

Next:

No-one came for it, it had to be taken to them:

Only one interested at first:

Second one joined in but Bali managed to hold its own:

Snatch 'n grab!

Back for more:

Diamond(?) finished off quite a decent leftover:

Black nest cam until 1136hr:

Only glimpses of feed from ledge cam:

FINISHED DE-FROSTING A LITTLE VID @ 1023hr, NOW GOING TO GET SELF FOOD. 

Continued...

MARRAGAAY:

Lovely tweed underwing:

Is certainly much appreciated by me Scylla!, at least we can see your vids & pics easily!

Realised early on that my stuff was being duped which is why I ducked out of recording this difficult site!
