I was heading down the spur past the kārearea nest today, the male was nest sitting. I watched for a few minutes from the rope on the downhill side of the excluded area and he left the nest, perched on a branch nearby and called out repeatedly. My guess is he'd had enough nest sitting, perhaps was getting hungry, and was calling for his mate. She did not appear in the few minutes I was there (she could have been some distance away, although falcon calls are pretty loud and carry well).
About now I decided to call them Fred and Wilma (Fred Falcon etc).
