(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.
Cilla Kinross's daily news
YouTube Channel with 4 cams
"Box" cam with Chat feature
HATCH-WATCH starts on 01 OCTOBER!
Therefore I've taken the liberty of starting this thread.
Evening changeover:

Looks like I shouldn't be assuming the eyas is Barru! Thanks, KATE.
For no good reason, I cropped out a shot of Diamond in the corner overnight - her head was encroaching on the text, or vice versa:
Then got captivated by sunrises and weather:
Around 18:45 our time the cams went down and I've had to switch them all off - just checked, cam still buffering and these are the latest Chat comments of note:
.
PS - Noticed a comment "Happy for Barru" but couldn't scroll back up any further to see what brought it on.
I've not long restarted the cams (except the blurry "Nest" cam, which I never do these days)... I've tried to get bits from rollback but failed to navigate it. I gather from Chat that there have been no significant developments over the past 12 hours, allowing for the weather - Cilla doesn't seem to have captured anything on her way home with her WD4 (whatever that is).

Am assuming a four-wheel drive vehicle rather than a fancy camera ... maybe it allows her better access to rough terrain where the trees are??

That never even entered my head
or is it this ???
What is a WD 4?
WD 4 | Kärcher
The WD 4 (2022) wet and dry vacuum cleaner provides especially powerful suction and excellent energy efficiency. Switch from dry to wet vacuuming without removing the filter.

Oh, that was an hour or more ago, I forgot to post it.
