(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.

Evening changeover:
IMAGICAT
Aw this is such sad news, he was never going to be able to be a healthy young bird as he should have been. I suppose at least he was taken in and looked at and put to sleep, rather than him come to a sad end on his own, or lie somewhere where he may not be found.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Apparently Cilla will be having a good look around for Yira tomorrow, the Oz 19th.
Yep! In and out. this as i logged in,before he made a dash,...Then Diamond thought aout stashing, but changed her mind, and Xavier soon returned and went looking for the stash , only to be disappointed Ha!!!
YIRA Sighted
NEWS 19th November 1230 pm Yira sighted in Girinyalanha high in the eucalypts below the tower. I watched her fly to the top of a eucalypt. She was being mobbed by magpie larks and took off again quickly, so I couldn't get a photo. We've had a few 'possible' sightings from cams, but this was the clearest view in the field.
