2.40 pm Falcon is still there.
I hear it, caught glimpse of its tail on outer perch.
Its chupping - does that mean another falcon is there too??

Post by: mrsfalcon on March 04, 2025, 04:50:02 PM: Most likely! :D

Post by: mrsfalcon on March 04, 2025, 04:53:42 PM: It's '5' up top but I could only see a very small part of the top band and I couldn't read the bottom band. This is most likely Malice 59/R bl/blu, the resident male. He nested with P/41 Fearless last year.
