12:53 Xavier with prey
Di flew out ? I have to check it (maybe there was a switch and X was breeding and incubating?)
Feeding time. Chick is hidden by the parent
12:59 prey is brought outside
13:00:44 little one is chirping
13:01 Xavier comes in and covers the baby
13:02 Di came home

Liz, seira, thank you for reports and pictures
RECAP by Donna:
15:40:08 prey; D eats; no feeding;
16:42:26 X with scrap, eats, no feeding;
18.01 X brings prey
"hm, she doesn't want it now"
"ok, i'll put it to the outside stash"
when i thought i have seen a little bird flying past and it was only a down feather floating ?

Thank you for your work, Liz, balistar, seira!
3.October
They are too thick, the little chicks can it not make through that shell. Only a assumption, maybe her body produces to much calcium during the development from the eggs.
7:22 Xavier in with food.
Diamond is eating, lil bit has had a nice feeding earlier.
But Mommy also asks chick to eat.

I really cross my fingers, but during observing the last two seasons I guess Diamond has a problem with the eggshells.Lyn B
@Linda - there has been no visible pip, so not close to hatching, but hatching is still a possibility.

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)

Birdfriend, yesssss
seira, i haven't had time to answer earlier, but yes, in your pic (that with the link) was indeed a PIP.
I've watched carefully and took a few pictures, and i was pretty sure that it was a Pip, although on chat they say it was debris. Now we have an opened Pip, a big hole
Fingers crossed that the hatchling has enough strength to break out.
PS: yesterday Dad once more kicked the chick on its back, feet in the air, but it was able to turn back quickly
Diamond so urged him to get up after a very short chick-and-egg-time, poor Xavier
