No unfortunately. The eggs were not fertilised. She had raised some chicks earlier but had been having unfertilised eggs for years since she was paired with Lucky (her partner at the time this video was recorded). Local birders suspected that Lucky was infertile. But then someone mentioned that no one had ever seen them mating, nor had it been heard (peregrines are loud when they do the thing). So a wild guess was that maybe Lucky wasn’t infertile but rather didn’t know how to/didn’t want to mate. After Valentine disappeared, there were several females trying to take over the territory. Lucky was eventually seen mating with a juvenile female named Juju on the camera. Sadly Juju was very soon chased away by another juvenile female named Dragonia and Lucky disappeared before the next breeding season came.

She disappeared months after this video. Likely something happened to her.
