Apologies to all for the streaming difficulties – the server is maxing out and running for most of the day right now at its peak. Every so often the server may hang, but the streaming app restarts every hour at the moment, and every 12 hours the computer itself reboots, so if the vision hangs, or won’t show up, give it an hour or so and hopefully it will come right again. It doesn’t help that I’ve ducked out of the country for just a couple of days either!
BIG changes to come for the off-season, with tests on new streaming capabilities. There have been plenty of suggestions but most of them require big financial investment and infrastructure which we don’t have yet. Lots of homework to do, but as long as Diamond doesn’t realise any of this is happening all will be well in the long run.
Looks good at the moment. All quiet in the box.
All black on my screen – will try again in the next hour 🙂 Drove to Canberra and back today, so had to content myself with a wedge-tailed eagle sitting on its breakfast in the middle of the Imlay Rd… what a sight that was!
It’s amazing the trip to Canberra. I always see birds of prey around Gunning. I actually keep going past there and turn off the HARDEN exit after Yass .. but I’ve seen wedge tails almost every trip.
I can’t believe Diamond still has that egg. She treats it so well. How sad.
I wonder when she will finally give up on it? She’s so determined 🙁
I know it’s sad .. but in one way it gives the researchers something else to look at. This is Diamond’s first dead chick right? I guess she hasn’t realised yet.
I can’t see the egg.
8:33 Xavier arrives with food. The screen froze so I only saw it on ledge camera.
Nest cam jumped ahead 2 minutes … Xavier has got so much better at this!

It was there first thing this morning….. (around 6am ish), I’m sure it was!
06:36hr this morning, Diamond went to fetch something to eat and while she was gone Xavier arrived with his contribution. Diamond took hers to the chicks, Xav left his on the ground and flew off.
The nestcam had frozen soon after Diamond left, so there’s no view of the feed.
Plus, there’s a corruption in here somewhere so I can’t put fade transitions in.

I had sighting of the chicks around 08:30hr and it seemed that the egg had gone by then. At my end, this morning has been the worst ‘reception’ so far.
12:30hr – Tiny clips from a feed:

Oops! I missed out the ~08:30hr comings ‘n goings and a scrap of feed.

BTW, it looks a pretty miserable day, I noticed possible drizzle squalls earlier and recently it’s been total mistiness outside, cleared a bit now.
Early afternoon, contented mum and babies:

So the egg went somewhere between 6.20-8.20am
It will be interesting to see how it transpired. Sadly.
