New Peregrine cam in Australia

[AlisonL]

I believe that one of the two girls has fledged. There were two in the nest until a little while ago, and now I can only see one.

I hope she and Tardy are both safe out there.

Yes, one of the commenters said she thought it was Tumbler who fledged second.  That would leave Walga on her own in the Concrete Hilton.  Another good, strong fledge!

Early in the morning; the two girls in the nest.

The last girl in the nest:

Apparently the second to fledge was Walga, and Tumbler remains by herself.  Walga was found on the ground by a maintenance worker, apparently uninjured, and was placed in a tree.  Tardy has not yet been spotted.

UGH, where is that boy!!

I'm not too concerned.  He's around somewhere. I don't think they have a lot of watchers there.

I believe they said the same about Aspro last year and he was never seen again! I worry!!

I agree with you, Donna. I'm worried about Tardy too. Still no update on him, and it's been a while now . . .

Tumbler is spending another night in the nest:





Cilla "conscious of the ever-present threat of cats and foxes", moved Walga to a larger tree. Walga then flew to a woodpile, and Cilla moved her to yet another tree. I hope she is okay.

The second female fledged.

What a great photo!  Thanks, Annette.  

I will miss them all.  I hope they are all located and that they all stay safe.

[AlisonL]

Love the photo, Annette! Thank you!

I am going to miss them too. I hope they all fly safely, and that they will come back to the nest to visit as the chicks used to do in past years.

[Kris G.]

Great capture, Annette!  Fly high, be safe, babies!

The Third and Final Time

By Scott Banks
With Tumbler’s successful fledging this morning the “empty nest syndrome� begins; very sad to see a quiet eyrie for the first time in weeks… well, that is, all except for the city of flies that the remaining carnage up there has attracted (special high-altitude flies, 50m above the ground!). With some luck I spotted Tumbler up in the trees this afternoon, quietly taking in the world, the breeze in the trees and the ever-circling, and agitated, Diamond who was keeping an eye on her progeny from above and from the nearby tower.
