(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.

Don't know what Xav must have had in mind - he certainly didn't have prey afoot!

Haha! I started downloading the ledge cam yesterday for that very reason (it came in handy for Xav's nighttime prat-fall)
Mid-afternoon handover:
Littlun had a little dedicated feed at first - not for long, of course:
I was trying to get a close-up of the pair just under the cam but never the twain would sync - so here 2 x the elder - they're never in focus either, this close to the cam - I've massively 'sharpened' and otherwise treated these :(((
Ang on
Aha !!! Short 'n sweet:
