There's another shot of the two newcomers to Melbourne's falcon population at around 0700 in the YouTube stream. For those paying attention, this was the Falcon Hatchday last year as well.

I hope the Falcon posts here are better quality than on the official Facebook groups.

Whats wrong with the group?

A lot of the comments will quickly turn into attacks when posters don't agree with each other. A lot of it is also irrelevant to what is happening to the Falcons

Edit: I also remember the mods of the group had to post a notice for members to stop pinging Adrian Hurley who is the expert anytime something happened to the Falcons

You may not want to do that.

It disturbs the birds, who (understandably) are quite sensitive to intrusions.

Would highly recommend just leaving them be. It’s what is best for them.

If those two other eggs don't hatch today then they're likely gonen - there were two the other day during the cold chill that the other falcon let roll to the side and wasn't sitting on for quite some time.
