(OCTOBER 2024 HATCHES - session starts on PAGE 23)
2022-23 season's thread
One of the 3 eggs did not hatch. KATE gathered this info for us:
SunnyKate23 Jan 2023 4:24 PMUPDATE
NEWS 29th December 2022 The egg was removed and I 'candled' it with a torch. The egg has a slight leak through a small crack, but is otherwise intact. Despite using a very strong LED torch, I could see nothing, so I think the eggshell is too thick. It may be that the chick simply could not emerge. I'll offer it to the Australian Museum.
Two chicks fledged: Indigo and Rubus, both males. Indigo, the elder, was last seen on 18 March when Diamond blocked his entry to the nest box. Rubus fledged @ 46 days but died 9 days later, the result of a flying accident.

Diamond did some gymnastics while waiting for breakfast:
Breakfast - I think more bites are hitting the mark - or at least some of them are
Quite a good view of Egg #3 early afternoon:
I see no sign of #3 hatching up to 22:45.

I know I'm not Kate () but I didn't think we could vote until Sunday
EDIT - but I obviously erred! I got (and am still getting) Secure Connection Failed, so I jumped to the conclusion that I was voting too early.
