For those needing a falcon cam fix, one of the adults in currently in the nestbox at
http://www.csu.edu.au/special/falconcam/Streams/camera-one.htm. Let's hope for a successful breeding season for Swift and Beau at Charles Sturt University. They've seen their share of frustrations recently.
Its courting time in Orange
Published 21 July, 2014 | By Scott Banks
This month in Orange is the beginning of the next breeding season for resident peregrines Beau and Swift. They’ve been given a freezing month of July as well, with intermittent snowfalls around the region and below zero (celsius) nights. There have been reports of Beau ducking and weaving amongst vehicle traffic down on the road, scaring the odd passer-by with near misses, and plenty of banter in and around the trees and the “Concrete Hilton” tower. With both HD cameras up & running, (albeit the odd tweak for night vision and picture quality) we’re looking forward to more activity shortly. Just this week we’ve seen the peregrines offering food on the wing to each other, making plenty of noise and disturbing the locals. It’s all a good sign. Outside of some regular annoying power outages on campus the cameras and servers are running very well. We’re all set, so Beau and Swift, now if you two wouldn’t mind availing us of more offspring we’ll be more than happy!
