(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.

Looking good
In the description panel NEWS, Cilla seems to think Barru is the more likely survivor ???
However, I just checked Chat and saw this posted by a Mod:
Can't keep up! Cilla subsequently corrected GingerFennel with "I don't think I said 'mother and daughter'.
The link in GF's post leads to a video which has beautiful guitar accompaniment, played by Cilla herself

I did a little vid especially for you-hoo, KATE, but couldn't post it - the seize-up was much later to recover today, it used to be done by 10:00 - was it made worse by the spam, I wonder? Must check if the spam is still there, that's another thing I couldn't do.
I don't see any recent news of jiuvies
EDIT - Spam all gawn - someone said there'd been 17 pages!
