Falcon cam

Post by GeoffW »

It's been a while since there's been one of these. This one is a Peregrine Falcon, in the centre of Melbourne's central business district. Some eggs hatched yesterday. Last year's chicks died, so people are hoping for a better outcome this year. There's been nesting on the site since 1991.

While it's just going dark here, the falcon is visible. It's actually the second video down.

Is it the one under "More Live Streams"?

The one underneath that. It says "Posted by 367 Collins Falcons Live Stream". It's gone quite grainy now, so it must be on night vision. And there's probably not much to see until daytime, in about 10 hours from now - I was watching some feeding when I first posted.

I don't see one labeled "Posted by 367 Collins Falcons Live Stream"... :shrug:
This is what I see - I tried different browsers:

I'm using Chrome on an android phone, and I've tried VPNs in a few different countries - they all seem to work.

I have blocked Facebook, so that won't work for me...

I'll have to wait for sunrise too (and probably also hammer down the company firewall). :grin:

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Now that I'm looking at it on a laptop - the video is an embedded Facebook video, so if you've disabled FB, you won't be able to see it.

It's daytime - there are three chicks viewable when the parent bird isn't on top of them. There's one egg.

Speaking of peregrine falcons I found these photos fascinating.
