Peregrine Falcon Webcam

[Stringmaker]

Last year, Norwich Cathedral had a streaming webcam on the roof to watch a Peregrine.

We followed it avidly, up to the point where the young fledged and took their first flight; it was fabulous to watch.

This year's cam has just gone live:

Obviously, being free spirited creatures they will only be available for viewing when they fancy a sit down!

Nothing there just now, good link thanks.

It is addictive; you keep popping back for a glimpse.

I think at the moment it is prospective tenants just having a look; once there is an occupant then there is a much better chance of seeing them.

Falcon posing for pictures right now!

Just had a look, cool as.
Now this IS what the internet should be used for!

Excellent, I'm glad someone else has seen it.

As soon as I posted that heads up it flew off!

My misses saw Peregrine chicks hatch last year she was working at a Nuclear power station and a Peregrine had made a nest on the roof, the security cameras had a perfect view of inside the nest, it was a case of less work and more watch for a while.

She's there, looks very full of egg and keeps making her hollow, going round and round, lying down and scrabbling her legs to make it better, plucking the odd feather from her breast. Looks like there could be an egg any minute!

You can hear the male close by every now and then. and she knows the camera! Now and again she looks right at you!

Edit - Nope, she's standing on the edge again considering lunch !!!

I got lucky and saw the both of them just after I posted.

You're right about the camera too; I got a "What are you looking at?" stare.

I just checked her and she was trying to eat, and pecking at, the camera! Then she had a good scrabble to make her hollow better she doesn't half give you a look! Decidedly "wottchalookinat !!!"

WooHoo !!! I thought she would when I was watching her this morning. Hopefully another ... maybe even more.

Just took another look - both she and the Derby lass are sat tight ... counting the days now
