Birdfriend, Liz,
thank you very much for reports, pictures and video
"yeah, food, i'm hungry"
Birdfriend, last season one of the not hatched eggs was fertilized, the other not.
There are thoughts that the declining number of hatchlings could also possibly be due to Diamond's age, where peregrine falcons actually show decreasing fertility with age (according to Dr. Cilla Kinross). Unfortunately, it is not known how old Diamond (and Xavier) actually are.
But for now there is still time that at least one more egg might hatch. Hoping for another one
Diamond is restless tonight, busy with rolling eggs and chick, seems she is listening to the eggs, but i couldn't hear any sounds.
D was off for a PS into the nest, still no Pip visible
little one did a mini PS
(i will have less time next week/s to watch and report)
Fingers crossed for a successful second hatch!
