New Peregrine cam in Australia

[AlisonL]

I check in on the nest too, but almost always get the solid black rectangle where the live stream should be.

Part of a feeding:







As Mom was about to leave, one of the chicks grabbed her wingtip.

The chicks appear to be well fed and well cared for:

OMG, I love the pic with the chick chowing down on Mom's wingtip, and the last pic, with that adorable face.  Thanks, Alison!

Update days 4 and 5 since fledging

Published 17 November, 2017 | By Cilla Kinross

It’s all good news.     I checked the time of the sighting of Marragaay yesterday and the willie wagtail saga and Bali was safely tucked up in the box at that time, so that’s a relief ie it must be her.   I’ve been down to try and find her based on Scott’s description, and it seems she’s moved on (those pesky wagtails are enough to drive anyone to depart).   At least she’s obviously made her way back to the woodland from the front gate, so is heading in the right direction, and is off the ground.

Bali goes from strength to strength with repeated excursions from the box, but getting quite pampered and very cheeky.    He’s mantling regularly and doesn’t seem comfortable eating until the adult has left, but is happy still to be fed by mum when in the mood.

At last, there is good news of Marragaay.

Madame Marragaay makes an appearance

Every night before heading home, I check all the usual haunts, particularly a large dead tree in a paddock a few hundred metres from (and within clear sight of) the nest box. This was the tree in which our three youngsters used to congregate last year.

But every night, there was no luck until tonight. Fortunately, they were both there, so I could be sure it was Marragaay.

I crept a bit closer (keeping a wary eye out for the parents, and sheltering under a large yellow box). Marragaay was originally in a different (live) tree then flew to the dead tree to join her brother and looked every bit a peregrine in flight. Well fledged!

I’ll sleep well tonight.

Bali is the first photo and is higher up in the tree.
