Orange NSW Pictures from Cilla Kinross

Two out of three
Published 21 November, 2016 | By Cilla Kinross

On the weekend, a friend and I had a good look around the campus for newly fledged young.

The female that I placed in the tree (which I think is Mell) was still there, having moved a little along the branch.

And after much searching, we eventually found Vim high up in a very tall eucalpt (a viminalis, no less) deep in the foliage.


Vim in the trees

He looks a lot darker, almost hobby-like, but it might be a trick of the light as I didn’t notice anything while in the box.

Diamond was on the tower and gave us several warnings to leave the area by doing fly-overs and she clearly knew where both babies were. Xavier was in the box.

We tried in vain to find Rubi, without luck. But I wouldn’t be concerned. One year, one chick went missing for nine days before finally turning up. Who knows what they get up to? I’m confident the parents know, however.

The forecast storms on Saturday and Sunday evening have not materialised, but there is a chance of rain today, which will be a surprise for them, having been mollycoddled in their box all their short lives.

And she’s off. I’ve just spotted her on the ground at the base of the tower, so I’ll go out and keep an eye on her for a bit as there are construction workers near by. IF I can catch her, I’ll put
her in a tree.
