In reply to Denise. It should be earlier than last year because Diamond lost her mate Xavier at the beginning (middle?) of breeding season last year. Most of us assumed it wouldn't be a successful season, then Gimbir just showed up one day and the magic happened. LOL

When will Gimbir & Diamond be back? September I see as the 1st egg was laid in late Sept.
Can't wait to watch this nest again for my 2nd year, I will be back now and again but definitely in August 😉. Gimbir & Diamond ❤️ ❤️

Watching Gimbir grow and become an adult falcon, gave us a good example of how fast they change into their adult plumage. I've made a comparison.
Left image: Gimbir on 13 September 2025, shortly after he arrived approximately 11 months old
Right image: Gimbir on 27 Januari 2026. The vertical stripes in the front and legs have already transformed to the horizontal stripes of an adult, 4 months later

The greyish juvenile feathers on back and wings take a bit longer to completely change but by 17 – 18 months the transformation into an adult falcon is completed.

Which was probably already complete in the begining of April when I posted this SS

In reply to Sylvia. I was just so surprised at seeing cockatoos in the box that I had to tell someone about it Thanks for the video, Sylvia!

In reply to Janet. I've seen those video's pop up but wasn't paying much attention since this cam is off season now and others started coming in season with the occasional incidents (of course) I made this one from 20 april https://youtu.be/BQkvEkHvflk

In reply to Sylvia. He has definitely grown and become a rather handsome Peregrine Falcon I think

In reply to Kathryn. You're welcome Kathryn. Actually you are right, it did have a good amount of votes, more than the European falcon cams even. I'm not sure what you mean with streaming it by yourself? You mean on your own website? Robert knows all about that technical stuff ????But when the owners of the cam don't mark the setting that allows others to stream it on their website, the only way to watch it is on YT. Since people couldn't watch it here on Nature Chat, is one of the main reasons that Robert deleted it I think. So we have to wait and see what happens when the live stream is back up on YT.

In reply to Sylvia.

Thank you Sylvia for answering.

That is such a shame and disappointment because I watched it for the last 5 or so years. I wish I had the capability of streaming 24/7, by the way what would it entail?

I thought it had the number of votes needed to keep it open but I was obviously wrong. Here’s to hoping that something can be worked out ????
