Where are Frodo and Frieda?
Things are not going the way they should at this nsetsite. For weeks now we have all been waiting for Frieda to lay her eggs and the well known nestsite ad Admiralty Tower. But no sign of either of the peregrines.
Normally the ledge is the centre of the courtship displays. All rituals are being performed overthere. Roosting together, nibbling on each others toes, digging bowles in the scrape, head- bow- low and eechupping, he offering her prey.
They engage in beautiful breathtaking arial displays. When she finally decides he's the one, mating starts, on the ledge again. Close to the nest.
We have not seen any of this at the Brisbane nestsite. That is a sign that no breeding will take place here. Probably somewhere else.
On september 9 I already suggested that.
Yesterday on the Frodocamsite Greg Czechura wrote:
I have just received a report of a pair of Peregrines being very active around a building close to Admiralty Towers. The initial report suggests that they are defending the top of this building - not good news for Frodocam. Equally the pair may simply be engaging is courtship display. The location of the building indicates that the pair is likely to be F&F. The report is being investigated and I will publish details as they come to hand.
So it seems that we will not be able to watch the 2008 nest of Frodo and Frieda. They have found a new and better location, this Frieda likes more. I do hope we will receive updates about eegs and later on eyases.
