Peregrine Falcon, Orange NSW - 2021

carn't post picture at the moment as I'm waiting for two computer to be fixed and four monitor to be set so problemes at the moment

Am I in the right place for the new season?  LIMPY?  WENDY?  KATE?  etc etc, dear Perry friends all

They've got 3 eggs, here's what Cilla says:

NEWS Update 12th September
We now have three eggs (lain 31/8, 2/9 and 5/9).    Incubation started after the 2nd egg as peregrines prefer to have at least two of the chicks to hatch close together to avoid too much size difference and ensure equal food distribution.   Hatching is due to start in the first week of October, probably from the 5th.

Shall we start a new thread?  I'm not sure how much I'll be contributing - have started downloads of all 3 cams, which were rather problematic to start with but seem to have settled down now.

Thanks for the update Scylla, definitely the right thread, must try to remember to keep up with these lovely Peregrines!

Three eggs, that's good. Presumably they got rid of Junior, their chick from the last nesting season, or is he still around? Forgotten his name--Izzi or something like it? He was certainly a character and I did watch the nest for some time.

Cilla has reported that she thinks he's left the area   All the best to (((Izzi))) 

I haven't found any prey drops yet, but I'm reminded how "jiggly" the footage is to scroll thru, it's easy to miss arrivals and departures.

Talking of scrolling, and this is a real problem - since yesterday Cilla's "Box" cam won't play at all, it freezes my editor.  It being the best cam of the three, this is a real shame.

EDIT - having doomed & gloomed, I've just checked thru a recent;y completed 6-hour clip and it's fine - it was a nightcam clip.

She'd definitely eaten:

Looking good:

Lovely capture, thanks Scylla
