Diamond & Xavier have THREE EGGS - laid between 26th and 28th August. Hatching expected to start from 01 October onwards.
New website for Cilla's info.
YT Channel for FOUR live cams.

06 October
Xavier tried to feed eyases but didn't do well, then Diamond took over. Poor little #2 spent a long time on its back! But did recover and got some semblances of bites ???
07 October
12:20 there was talk of a pip in egg #3 but it wasn't at all clear in the footage, but later I found a definite pip:
Someone on Chat said they'd counted #2 get 24 bites, not sure what period that covered.
08 October
Xavier's faced with a misty day, no good for hunting - never fear! he soon brought in a good-sized bundle - apparently he's taken to keeping a stash at the top of the window hatch on the tower roof.!
Nothing illuminating (re egg #3) seen overnight, shall keep checking.

Funny you should say that, Bart - I just came here with the latest tumble:
PS - I'm signing off for a few hours :)))
I'm giving most of the 8th a miss, as have got too emotionally involved!
Just to show I tried - #2 may or may not have succeeded in swallowing this before we were blocked and/or it was taken away!
SYAL.
Whilst CILLA and the Team have loads of wonderful facts, you may find Ed's info interesting. www.youtube.com/watch www.eddrewitt.co.uk/urban-peregrines-xh90w
and here is Cilla talking on the local radio station yesterday

Thank you for the links to Ed Drewitt, KATE, very interesting, he's a nice communicator

At one point I didn't quite catch what he said so I put the subtitles on - had a giggle when, unrelated to my query, the Hawk & Owl Trust was given as "the whole canal trust"
It seems my internet has been flaky nearly all day, have lots of bitty files for all cams from just after noon onwards - off I go to try to sort out the mess. Also, I've C&P'd the whole of the available Chat, it's miles long and I bet most of it is chitchat and tittle-tattle and trolls
Oh! And I did notice someone say that #2 is getting close to #1 in size - we'll see.
EDIT
Someone has commented on one of my videos before hatch #2:
"This couple is known to have 1 chick hatched out of 3 eggs. This pattern makes me think her oviducts may be constricting after the first egg fertilized blocking subsequent eggs from being fertilized."
I gave him a link to the new website where he can contact Cilla if desired.

Over 10 minutes of breakfast, including some FF - you can see #1's crop in the thumbnail, and #2 was painfully able to get enough to keep it going. These feeding sessions make my toes curl.
