📌 NEWS 21st November 2023 by Cilla Kinross
One juvenile (Barru, I’m fairly sure) is fine, flying well and eating prey (and dropping it - still a bit of a klutz). Videos under sign of Marri apart from a possible sighting on day 2. After a week, I would expect to see both of them on one of the roost trees (about 500 m from the tower) or on the tower itself together and that we haven’t seen yet.
Both youngsters fledged really well both on 14/1123: Marri (at 43 days) at 0939 and Barru (at 42 days) at 1536. Videos on the channel.
They may return to the box after a few days (or not) . Either way they stay in the area for a month or two learning to hunt. And the parents still feed them during this period if needed.
Tower cam was replaced on 14th November. It provides clearer images, zoom and pan capabilities (360 degrees). Note that at present I can only change the image when I’m at work. It’s the same url.
LAST SEASON
Two chicks last year: Indigo and Rubus, both males. Indigo dispersed after Diamond blocked his entry to the nest box on 18th March. Rubus died of a flying accident nine days after fledging.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This is a research project through Charles Sturt University, Orange, New South Wales Australia, studying the diet and use of a nest box of a family of peregrines living in water tower since 2007. We now have nine years’ worth of diet and seven years of behavior data The cams go right through the year and are in daily use. More information can be found below the chat rules.
