NEWS 2nd December 2023 by Cilla Kinross
This morning's video of Xavier being chased around by our surviving fledgling (sorry, still unsure which it is): https://youtu.be/uQDeYzFDgGo Music by Giuliani

Barru was definitely seen since fledging (and Marri too I think) but I think there is only one survivor now If both were still here, we would have seen them together by now. I'm hoping to get better pictures of them with an adult to make size comparison.

Video of juvenile in a tree from last week
Here is the video https://youtu.be/FAeCZRh9k4Q

The youngsters fledged really well both on 14/11/23: Marri (at 43 days) at 0939 and Barru (at 42 days) at 1536. Videos on the channel.

Tower cam was replaced on 14th November. It provides clearer images, zoom and pan capabilities (360 degrees). Access: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMZSG...

The first research paper on observations from this site has been published by myself in the journal Corella. Available on the website: https://falconcam.csu.edu.au/2023/10/...

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.
