(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.

Wow! Thank you for that very welcome news, KATE. I've been downloading the Tower but wondering why, as I can't see a darn thing on it - I need new again!
13 November

I cropped this as it took me so long to disguise the fuzzy blobs on the above, I couldn't face doing them all again:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Any time now...!!!!!!!!!!

At a glance, I can't see anyone on either cam, so need to do some thorough checking...
What a panicky effort that was, and I've omitted the Box view of Marri taking off - never mind.
How fantastically wonderful and successful for the FalcomCam Project
