NEWS 27th October 2023 Cilla Kinross These peregrine falcon nestlings are now 24 and 25 days old and it would appear that we have a male (Barru) and a female (Marri), but I'm urging caution as I have been wrong before. Marri does seem to be quite a bit larger, with huge legs and feet. It will be easier to tell once they start walking upright as they are starting to do. They have started to attempt to self-feed. Here is a video of Xavier trying to bring in a starling prey (he needs two attempts), some nice gliding shots from ledge fam and some feeding (including a whole leg...), first by nestlings, then with Diamond's help. NESTLING NAMES are Marri (=red kangaroo) 40.7 % and Barru (bilby) 40.3%. 1st hatch 2/10 2nd hatch 3/10 The third egg is not viable ie it will not hatch and will be removed when the nestlings fledge, if not broken. Fledgewatch starts 10th November, but more likely from 12th. RESOURCES
