Frodocam: one of them was there






















We have not seen much of both peregrines at the nestsite. But today one of them was there. It could well be they do all the romancing somewhere else, although we have not seen the tiercel scraping bowles here either. We just have to wait and see. I'm sure it will be alright. It is still early. Last year the first egg was laid on August 18, that is still a week from now.
It is still very cold overthere. Last night was below zero. There is not much food around yet.I do not expect any eggs untill the end of August.


In the meantime there has been some concern about an injured peregrine that was found in Brisbane. Fortunately it turned out it is definitely not our Frida or Frodo. The injured tiercel has a fractured right wing and is very well been taken care of by the vets and nurses at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
He will make a full recovery and spends his time in a beautiful flight cage.
