Update van Cilla Kinross
One of the maintenance staff found Walga (I think) on the ground near the water tower, so placed her in a small tree.



Still looking for the boy.

Ze is er nog,

Nog wat fragmentjes van vanmorgen

Daar gaat de laatste..

Tja, dat word dan naar een lege kast kijken...

With Tumbler’s successful fledging this morning the “empty nest syndrome” begins; very sad to see a quiet eyrie for the first time in weeks… well, that is, all except for the city of flies that the remaining carnage up there has attracted (special high-altitude flies, 50m above the ground!). With some luck I spotted Tumbler up in the trees this afternoon, quietly taking in the world, the breeze in the trees and the ever-circling, and agitated, Diamond who was keeping an eye on her progeny from above and from the nearby tower.

Had a wander to see if I could find Tumbler – and lo, and behold, she has successfully joined her sister in one of the roost trees….note how well camouflaged they are.

And here are shots of them separately.  I’ve put Walga as being on the left, but honestly, not sure which is which at this stage.


No sign of little Tardy yet, but I haven’t given up hope.  Just fledged juveniles have often disappeared for five days or more before finding their way back to the roost.

Apart from Aspro, who fell out of the nest in a storm last year and was never found, and one who hurt her leg during hunting-training, we have always had success with our fledglings finding their way in the world, so let’s keep hoping and looking.

En weg hierna

A late afternoon stroll in the park today revealed no less than five peregrines within easy reach of each other. The photos are not much chop, but I’m pretty sure Tardy is the one in the tree fork bottom left. One sister is centre top and the other is bottom right, partly hidden.
And the parents were not far away, keeping a watchful eye (and noisy scold). All three youngsters took to the wing for brief flights when I was photographing them, but they (the parents) didn’t budge.
