Good morning from #OrangeNSW where Diamond and Gimbir (on the ledge) spent another night together. #PeregrineFalcons

Fun and games from Gimbir and Diamond. They do some bonding. Both have bloody feet. Diamond then appears to be waiting for Gimbir to leave. Gimbir on the Cilla Rocks studiously ignores Diamond. LOL. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

"Peek-a-Boo." #OrangeNSW #Cockatoos #PeregrineFalcons

Early this morning, Gimbir and Diamond engaged in a combined bonding/snoozing session. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where late yesterday, Gimbir performed a crash-landing in the nestbox.

All's well that ends well. #PeregrineFalcons

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where some rowdy Cockatoos have put Diamond on a warpath footing. #PeregrineFalcons

Diamond retrieves her stash from the pantry and eats. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Gimbir makes way for Diamond arriving at the nestbox with prey which she ultimately stashes for later. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where Diamond is in the House and has eaten. #PeregrineFalcons

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where right on cue, once Diamond departed, Chief Nestbox Inspector Gimbir arrived to undertake his routine but very important duties. #PeregrineFalcons

Diamond brings her massive crop to visit the nestbox. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Gimbir arrives in the nestbox with a huge crop and ends up seeing something outside that causes him to issue a warning by kekking. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Homebody Gimbir preens, re-checks the empty larder, does some scrape maintenance, and then he's off. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Research indicates that when #PeregrineFalcons wail, which you should be able to hear Diamond doing in this clip, it can mean "I want something to change."

Not always, but ... can mean.

And change there was. #OrangeNSW

In news just out of #OrangeNSW, Diamond and Gimbir have spent a second night sleeping together. A precedent has been set. There were no reports of any drama. #PeregrineFalcons

There was drama on the dancefloor in #OrangeNSW last night when Gimbir also wanted to sleep in the nestbox. Quite the disagreement ensued between himself and Diamond. Beaks and talons were drawn. #PeregrineFalcons

Angullong Wines 'FOSSIL HILL' 2023 #orangensw #shiraz-(with a splash of #viognier in it. Dep purple in colour, lovely floral bouquet with a modicum of ripe plums. The palate is superb with pepper notes to accompany the black & red berry flavours & a long lingering, a smooth finish. EXCELLENT!!

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where the resident #PeregrineFalcons would prefer life if Cockatoos did not visit. Methinks there's been some chasing off going on.

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where the fact that Gimbir spent the night on the nestbox ledge does not in any way deter him from undertaking a forensic inspection of the various cupboards in the larder on more than one occasion this morning. #PeregrineFalcons

Some work was being done at the water tower today. The #PeregrineFalcons were unperturbed by the visit. Diamond remained in the nestbox while all this was going on. #OrangeNSW

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where Gimbir carried out his routine morning nestbox inspection and did a little maintenance on the bowl. We could almost set our watches by his inspections. Dog love this little fella. #PeregrineFalcons

Gimbir gave a Cockatoo short shrift this morning. Blink and you'll miss it.

2nd clip in thread: While he then rested up in the nestbox, Diamond brought prey to a bonding session, but it was not for sharing. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Diamond flies in for some bonding with Gimbir, and then leaves with the leftovers from the pantry. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Good morning from #OrangeNSW where Diamond and Gimbir have been busy. Diamond brought prey which she stashed. Cue Gimbir spying stash, taking and eating stash, and then kindly leaving some leftovers in his preferred corner. #PeregrineFalcons

Video of the intruder seen off by Gimbir and later Diamond. Dr Cilla Kinross commented that "I don't want to alarm you, but Diamond is reaching that age where holding her territory is going to get harder." #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

A third Peregrine Falcon has reportedly been seen in the area and is making Diamond very agitated. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons
