Now also "Flappy" died. 
His remains will be retrieved and examined (as i have read).
Most likely (this is only my opinion) it was infected with the same parasit as the "Fluffy" had.
So, hopefully "Flewy" had good luck and wasn't infected.
RIP little poor Flappy.

I've just read it, I observed the cam constantly...I knew it, it is really sad...she/he must suffer no more. Poor little guy, couldn't not right eat, only little bites...starved to dead. Really tragic. I agree with you, balistar, the same disease like sibling "Fluffy."balistar wrote: ↑November 13th, 2018, 3:32 pm Now also "Flappy" died.

Only a good memory for me is that "Flewy" came back yesterday, the last time for "Flappy" with his sibling...

One of the juveniles, Gaama (the female) I think, based on the size compared to the adults, who were doing a lovely dancing courtship just before she arrived. Here are the links

Flight training Published 16 November, 2018 | By Cilla Kinross
http://www.gumtreecs.com.au/wordpress/flight-training/
I’ve been watching the chicks flying between the roost tree and the top of the tower every afternoon. They are both flying really well and there is no reason why they shouldn’t visit the box. But sometimes they don’t come back. There doesn’t seem to be any reason why or why not. Usually they come in looking for leftovers, but they might be so well fed, there is no need.
These photos were from yesterday afternoon and evening. Have a lovely weekend everyone. Cilla

A gross necropsy of the first dead nestling revealed Trichomoniasis infection. This is a disease carried by feral Starlings and pigeons. I see it only rarely and then generally only in urban or industrial settings. Even then it does not occur amongst Peregrine nestlings at such locations every year.
The carcass of the second nestling to die was not there the next morning. A search of the lower building levels failed to locate it.
We hope for healthier prey populations next year.
