The Peregrines in the Nest Box Are Still Incubating Their Eggs.🥚🥚🥚

The peregrine falcons are still incubating the eggs, even past their expected hatching date. Is there still hope for a successful hatch?
Feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts below!

The falcon female is Diamond (aged at least 13) and the male is Gimbir
(hard 'g' Gim-bear, meaning 'spring' or 'fountain' in the local Wiradjuri language)
is now nearly two years old.

Egg no. 3 was laid at 1251 on, 10th Sept. after a gap of 61.5 hours

Egg no. 2 was laid at 2324 h on 7th September (gap 64 hours)

Egg no. 1 was laid at 0725 h on 5th September.


The chicks are expected to hatch around October 10th.
Over the following six weeks,they will fledge, practice flapping their wings,
and finally make their first flights around late November.
