FalconCam Project~😍🤗 Di is stuffing her chick 5:04 PM 2025/11/15

GENERAL INFORMATION This site follows a family of peregrine falcons using a nest box since 2008 in a water tower at Charles Sturt University, Orange, Australia.

NEWS 10th November
Time to make a decision. Our youngster needs a name and I'm pretty sure the other two eggs won't hatch now. Here is the link to the name. Please do not copy the direct google poll link elsewhere as the only condition of entry is that voters visit the website: https://falconcam.csu.edu.au/2025/11/...

HISTORY The birds have been observed using the tower (a working water tower) since 2007, breeding in the box since 2008, with an average of 2.8 eggs per clutch and 1.5 fledges per season.

The parents' names are Diamond (female) and Gimbir (male). Diamond took over from the older Swift in 2015 and Gimber replaced Xavier late August 2025, who replaced Bula in 2016 (who in turn replaced our first male, Beau, in 2015). Xavier arrived just as the eggs were hatching and saved the season by providing for Diamond and her three chicks. Assuming that she was at least two years old when she arrived, Diamond is at least twelve years old (2025). Gimber is approximately one.

The previous male, Xavier, disappeared on 27/8 and is assumed dead. He had been with Diamond since 2016 and is sorely missed.
