(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.

Latest info, sorry no vid . doh!!! ( see how much you are missed dear Scylla.
NEWS 27th November Yira has been seen several times via cams, including a likely prey transfer on 25th November (spotted by Moka) and a few chases, plus two rather clumsy landings on the tower slope. She's only been seen once on the ground (by myself on 19/11 in Girinyalanha), but we know she is around and doing well.

Checking Chat, I see that Xav injured his foot or leg a couple of days ago, they don't know how. So I just recorded this snippet from rollback - I'm gonna look such a fool if this is Diamond!
Not having very good luck this year, he looks well crippled
Aw poor soul, hope the foot recovers and he wilk be okay, it looked a bit swollen?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
