JULY 2025
1 Jul – X4F and X7F remain on the ledge from the previous evening. X7F flies out at 4:05 and is replaced by X6F five minutes later but leaves after a further five minutes and X4F leaves at 4:55. X6F and X7F return together at 5:35 but X6F flies off almost immediately and X7F a few minutes later. X7F is back briefly at 5:45. The female lands at 5:50 with very fresh Feral Pigeon prey quickly followed by X6F. She plucks the meal in the box and feeds the juvenile. X7F lands at 6:00 and snatches the meal from the female and mantles it in the box. The female grabs it back after ten minutes and X6F tries to snatch it from her. There is a tug-o-war and the adult wins. She feeds X6F until 6:30 when X7F takes his turn. X6F flies out five minutes later and X7F has finished feeding at 6:40 and flies off. The female eats the remainder of the pigeon and flies out at 7:05 with a full crop. X4F returns at 11:40 with her wings drooped, all hot and bothered, and lays in the shade. She is joined by X7F at 12:50 and they lay together. He goes into the box at 13:15 for ten minutes, then sits on the ledge. X4F looks for scraps at 15:00, then lays on the platform as X7F flies off at 15:15. X6F returns at 16:40 and X7F 15 minutes later. All three siblings go into the box looking for scraps then settle on the platform until X6F flies off at 17:10, followed by X7F. X7F quickly returns. He is off again at 18:50 as X4F remains on the platform, then searches for scraps at 19:15. X7F returns at 19:25 for ten minutes. He is back an hour later but flies off again at 20:55. X6F arrives at 21:00 and X7F 35 minutes later. They all fall asleep on the platform at 22:00.
2 Jul – X4F goes into the box at 00:30 and is joined by X7F at 00:50, whilst X6F remains on the ledge. X7F moves to the ledge at 4:50 as does X4F a few minutes later. X6F and X7F fly out together at 4:55 and X4F goes into the box for 30 minutes. The female lands with fresh Feral Pigeon prey at 5:40 and is quickly followed by the two juveniles. She drags the meal into the box and feeds all three juveniles. She flies off at 6:05 and X6F soon follows and X7F a few minutes later, whilst X4F remains on the platform. X7F is back at 8:15 and the two lay on the platform until 9:45 when X7F leaves and X4F five minutes later. Both are soon back feeding on scraps in the box. X7F flies out again at 10:35 and returns briefly at 10:45. The female lands at 11:15 carrying fresh Feral Pigeon prey but before X4F could grab the meal, X6F flies in and snatches at it from the female. She manages to keep control and feeds the two. She flies out with the remains at 11:35 and X6F leaves ten minutes later. X6F returns at 14:00 and the two settle on the platform until 17:40 when the female drops off a plucked pigeon. The two juveniles fight for the meal and eventually feed on it together. The female sits on the ledge but is knocked off by the arriving X7F. The female lands at 18:10 pursued by X7F and they go into the box. The female then sits on the ledge and X7F calls at her begging, whilst X4F runs at her and pushes her from the platform. She lands on the platform again at 19:35 but is forced off by X4F flies after her. She tries again five minutes later and at 19:55 but the two remaining juveniles do not allow her to land and X4F flies after her. X4F and X6F soon return to the platform to join X7F. The siblings huddle together for the rest of the evening.
