Random Falcon Nests and News

[JudyB]

This is a place to post any general information about falcons, or to let us know if you've found a new cam or a local nest you're observing and would like a thread set up. We'd also be happy to set up a thread for a species of falcon (like we did for Urban Merlins) if anyone is observing several nests and focusing more on the similarities and differences than separate observations of each nest.

As always, we'll be happy to set up threads for specific nests if there's interest over time.

Thanks to SueD for suggesting this thread!

I can't really say if there is a fourth falconet or not. May be the last egg is well hidden...

NEWS 2nd October.
Only 4 or 5 days until hatching begins! I think about 7th October, but that's only an estimate. Hopefully, we will have three healthy chicks, but it is often fewer than that, so don't be too disappointed if that happens.

NEWS 8th October.
The first egg hatched at or before 0456 h this morning. The chick has already been able to put up its head, so looks fine. First clear sighting is at 0701 h. Hopefully, we will have three healthy chicks over the next few hours or days, but it is often fewer than that, so don't be too disappointed if that happens.
You will be able to vote on a selection of names next week.
I'm fairly sure Izzi has left the area (last seen 10th August).
