For anybody who is interested, the Peregrine Falcons at 367 Collins St have had 3 out of 4 eggs hatch.

I am not sure how to put in a link, but if you go to www.367collinsfalcons.com.au you can watch the live feed of the birds.

Beautiful birds

They must be fatherless, as usually, one parent is hunting, and one sitting, have seen them on their own a fair bit, so the mother is away hunting. Have not seen the father, since they were born.

Thankyou I missed it, I have been watching on and of for the last 3 days, but heaps in the last 2 days, had not seen a parent. I don't think both parents are looking after them now. Must be one of them coming back quickly feeding them and going. Usually one will sit on them at night though. Just worried about them.

One of the chicks has died, so admin has redirected the camera until the parents remove the dead chick. Once the chick is gone she will redirect the camera.

There are two nest boxes, one at each end of the ledge. The chicks are getting very mobile now and frequently change ends, pending weather.

If you are on Facebook you can go to the facebook site and see the notes.

Last year they started with 4 chicks, and I believe only 2 made it to leave the nest.

At least they have been able to adapt to the environment, and no feral cat will get them up there.

Thats nature.......

Testing wings is great because with that first step is not a good time to find out they dont work.........

Does anybody know where the camera is located. Each time they swap over to the other end, you can't see it. You should be looking straight at it, but it is not to be seen. They even had a camera shot the other day, looking over the top of the birds. Todays footage should show where the camera is situated because of the wide long shot, but I cannot see it.

I just would like to know, the only thing I can think of is that it is a pin point one.

I don't have facebook, and now it looks like one of the birds has been killed and left there and the other one is not standing up. Their seems to be no luck for these falcons.
