And maybe a nest box on top!!

Gone but not forgotten! I will miss her, she was a great mom who passed on her great parenting to her daughter, Beauty!

WOW and Hope is the new mate? Things couldn't get any stranger but yay for E2, he won't be alone! The crazy world of Peregrines. Hope Dorothy left with her head held high!  

Beauty has landed

She laid an egg!!!!!!!   

2 more donations in my budget...one for the 9PM drawing and one for the 11PM drawing. It won't bring us to the magic number, but every little bit helps!

And still keeping talons crossed one of us may get the 5 year bonus!

Yes, thanks!

And perhaps this may be a bit of an incentive for others to donate.

A couple of new Pancams being tested in my den. Hopefully they will soon be at a nearby nest box.

I love Pan Cams!!!

When is the next best time to donate? I missed the 12 am mark. Ya, alarm did nothing!! Congrats on the BONUS!!

AWESOME NEWS:::::

A late afternoon stroll in the park today revealed no less than five peregrines within easy reach of each other.  The photos are not much chop, but I’m pretty sure Tardy is the one in the tree fork bottom left.   One sister is centre top and the other is bottom right, partly hidden.



I also took one a bit closer of Tardy and one of the sisters, which shows off the size difference a bit better.



Tardy

And the parents were not far away, keeping a watchful eye (and noisy scold).  All three youngsters took to the wing for brief flights when I was photographing them, but they (the parents) didn’t budge.

I spent today going through the tapes since the last fledge and both parents have been visiting the box regularly, cleaning up some of the debris (Diamond took the galah head…) with Diamond over-nighting most nights.  She even brought in some prey recently (pigeon), which seems a bit odd, but perhaps they will visit the box again fairly soon.   Previous fledgelings have used the box once they start hunting.

So I guess we are all feeling a lot better now!
