[Stringmaker]

Once again we can watch the progress of these wonderful creatures:

This time last year Mrs Peregrine was sitting in snow!

She is sat there now all tucked into her feathers.

I just checked on the Norwich camera and there is a feathery tail just in shot; it is sitting on the camera instead of obligingly sitting in the main picture

I just checked in and saw Mrs Peregrine sitting on the platform edge admiring the view whilst her egg was sitting forlornly unattended in the nest scrape.

Is that normal behaviour? I thought the whole point of incubation was to keep the egg warm?

UPDATE: She is back on the egg; I guess she needed a stretch

Peregrines that is



Screen grab this morning.

So far so good, another four healthy ones.

They had a bit of bother earlier in the season from another female trying to nick the nest whilst the mother was incubating.

Luckily she cleared off.

That pair have increased the falcon population of Norwich by about 600% in 3 years.

Awesome stuff thanks for the link - just added a screen grab of feeding to my earlier post - think its a bird (the brown thing between her talons)

I will waste a lot of time on this link

I'm one of the volunteers at the peregrine watch point in the cathedral grounds, we have plenty of scopes to use and webcam monitor. Pop along if your nearby.

This time last year she was incubating in snow and still got all four chicks to fledge.

It is fascinating to see them isn't it

I'm seeing a definite runt to this litter, I ifnd myself talking to the monitor saying "Don't miss out the little one at the back!"
