As the new School of Dentistry and Health Sciences building nears completion below, the peregrine falcons at Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Orange have been busily working on their own creations, with three eggs hatched in the campus’s landmark water tower. “We have been working very hard on the completion of a new nesting box, designed and built to ensure more room for the birds to roost, and better access for our cameras,” said Ms Cilla Kinross, a lecturer at the CSU School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences at Orange. “Unfortunately the female falcon has laid her eggs two months earlier than last year, so we weren’t able to install the new roost in time. At least she seems happy with the old roost, otherwise she would not have re-nested in the same box.” If all goes well, the eggs are due to hatch in early October. The sole survivor of two eggs hatched last year was named Migii, the Aboriginal name for ‘lightning’ due to the water tower being struck by lightning a few days prior to it hatching.
