Update - Project systems maxed out
Published 7 October, 2017 | By Scott Banks
Apologies to all for the streaming difficulties – the server is maxing out and running for most of the day right now at its peak. Every so often the server may hang, but the streaming app restarts every hour at the moment, and every 12 hours the computer itself reboots, so if the vision hangs, or won’t show up, give it an hour or so and hopefully it will come right again. It doesn’t help that I’ve ducked out of the country for just a couple of days either!
BIG changes to come for the off-season, with tests on new streaming capabilities. There have been plenty of suggestions but most of them require big financial investment and infrastructure which we don’t have yet. Lots of homework to do, but as long as Diamond doesn’t realise any of this is happening all will be well in the long run.

Thank you for updating us from afar, Scott; good luck with the changes you have in mind!
burdi:
Live streaming problems continue to make it difficult for many people trying to follow this site (often on and off or out of sync), and it’s difficult to make sense of what is happening when the cams fall out of sync.

And now the cams are down again! Hopefully someone there will soon find a fix.

Update - But so clumsy!
Published 6 October, 2017 | By Cilla Kinross
That Xavier might be getting better at feeding, but he needs to watch his feet! He also needs to prepare the prey better as this was a very rough pluck, which to his credit, he realised, and hence the hasty exit. Macropus = large feet, which is the name of the primary Australian subspecies.
Plenty of food coming in, sometimes rejected (does Diamond prefer parrots to starling…? .mm, not sure, she certainly takes anything if hungry). Hard to keep track of whether the food is fresh or stashed – important as I don’t want to count double prey. Stash in previous years has normally been in the box, but rarely this year.
I have to leave for Sydney in three hours, so unless something dramatic happens (eg resurrection), I’ll sign off for a few days. I don’t have the recording software when I’m away for the office, but might be able to answer queries. I can also put up new thread if this one gets too long. There is at least wifi at the venue at Uni Sydney.
These birds are not called ‘macropus’ for nothing!

Currently, the cams are both working!
The Peregrine Chick:
As of 1120h CST (Wpg) / 0322h in NSW - all quiet in the nestbox. I'm going to assume it is Diamond on the chicks in the top corner of the image . She's not tight down on them so I'm going to assume it is warm right now in NSW. Diamond has her head over shoulder and tucked under the top of her wing. She's seems to not be disturbed/perturbed in the least. Lots of feathers in the nest box so going to assume dinner for the chicks went well.
