Hi, here is some history for predicting hatch times this year! All dates are from the cams' timestamps, so are local Orange time.
Eggs in 2020 were laid on Aug 27 (about 4 am), Aug 29 (about 4 pm), and Sept 1 (about 2 am). For Diamond in the past, the time from first egg laid to first egg hatched was:
2015 = 38 days
2016 = 37 days
2017 = 36 days
2018 = 36 days
2019 = 37 days
Some great news: a new cam has been ordered to replace the nest cam!! If it arrives before the first egg hatches, it will be installed right away. The cams are actually located outside the box, just looking through holes in the walls, so disruption to Diamond would be minimal. A new streaming server has already been installed (as of about a week ago), which has been successful in making the nest cam stream more stable even without a new cam.
I'm not on here very often, so am going to just give you a couple recent video I've made. Apologies if I'm repeating anything already posted.

(Is there any way for me to post photos here straight from a computer, without uploading them to an online service first?) If any of you are on Facebook, you can always see more stuff there, in the group called Orange, Australia Peregrine Falcons.
