- The adult female is on top of the tower as I write (no camera there, alas!)
- ​I just heard Marragaay flying up to the tower'; maybe she'll visit the box
- (question: Bali) No, not since 20th December, eating a red wattlebird brought in by Diamond
- ​Both juveniles have been catching their own prey since mid-December. I'm just surprised that Diamond is still here, but if you look at the website, you'll see we have had other malingerers. Off home

I looked at this forum side. For me it is Diamond on your pics yesterday. Sometimes it is not easy to differentiate them. Xavier is a bit smaller than Diamond, his tail feathers are a bit shorter.
You made nice catches! I guess it is also Diamond and yes there must be a hot day.

Diamond is there for overnight:

[Birdfriend]

She is still there.

Birdfriend and all,
TY for shots and comments.

today morning: cam time 23-01-2018, 01:09 PM empty nestbox and still no body at home (05:09 PM)

EDIT (10:43 am LK time)
youtube chat:
Cilla Kinross ​Very hot and humid here. I last heard Marragaay calling at 1930 last night. Has the time arrived for departure? I'll know in a minute as it's 'chase around the tower' time.

cam time 23-01-2018, 08:32:06 falcon (Diamond?) arrived

[Birdfriend]

Solo!
Diamond with body care.


She is beautiful.

Birdfriend,

maybe Marragaay and Diamond (EDIT: Xavier wrote Cilla K.) about 06:16:13







youtube chat Cilla Kinross​
- This is Xavier, the adult male
- I have been studying these falcons for nine years. Peregrines mate for life and Xavier is a new male, arriving just before hatching last season, so we assume the other male died. (answer)

Yes, Solo, I watching and saw it, took this pic:

The fly-by is Xavier. He came short time later to the box. Diamond left at 6:17.

This is Xavier in the box.

[Birdfriend]

Still Xavier.
Thanks Solo for your shots! Good night!
