Hi all,
I've spoken with representatives at Mirvac and the site was not intended to be live yet, and some keen eyed members noticed the stream was active while they were testing changes to the system.
It will be going offline shortly if it isn't already, and be back up later this month.

Victor Hurley's presentatie

Ik denk dat de eitjes verlaten zijn i.v.m. onderstaande ontwikkelingen.

Mb update by Victor Hurley on FB:
Viewers of the webcam footage will have noticed over the past couple of days (starting 5th October) the female (F22) has been absent for long spells. The male (M22) has really stepped up to take over the bulk of the incubation duties and even doing the first overnight shift by a male recorded at this site. The male incubated overnight on both the 5thand 6th of October. As I write (11:22pm) F22 is incubating having returned earlier to replace the male at the nest. A full summary of the incubation duties will be published here in a Falcon Fact Sheet after the eggs have all hatched.
Because of the webcam we have this intimate view into breeding activities and behaviour at a granular level seldom observed. Over this period when the female has appeared she has several tufts of feathers missing from the top and back of her head and she hasn’t looked as “sharp” as a resident breeding female would “normally” appear. Based on her appearance and her limited presence on the nest ledge over these 2 or so days several explanations spring to mind. Please understand these are “guesstimates” and the full facts are not and may never be known. In my order of mostly likely the possible explanations are:
1. The resident female (F22) has had to fight off and kill a possible intruding female. In so doing F22 has sustained some injuries which has caused her to be absent from the nest. I wouldn’t be surprised if her injuries included some concussion.
2. Female (F22) has taken a large prey item and it has put up quite the fight inflicting the above mentioned injuries on F22.
3. Female (F22) has got herself entangled in some wire mesh or other built structure and incurred injuries in getting herself unentangled.
Other options not listed here are also possible and I am not ruling them out. These listed options just appear to me to be the most likely with option one the most likely. As noted in previous years 367 Collins is a high quality nest site within a high quality nest territory. These are much sought after and Peregrine Falcons will fight to the death to retain or obtain such assets. F22 may well have needed extended time to overcome the concussion or other injuries that she suffered.
F22 has taken over incubation duties for the night of 7th October and with hatching due to start within a week her regular presence will be critical to a successful whole of clutch hatching this year.
