Mum has got her work cut out now

Ta Biker . I just had a peek and she's nodding-asleep but the chicks are a bit restless so she keeps shuffling around with a zonked expression on her beak ... dear soul

Four fluffy chicks up and about and being fed

They're gorgeous and looking healthy so far - wonder if they'll all make it ???

I hope they do, when I was in collage I met a few old keepers who hated the sight of any form of BOP, but I don't mind them interesting diversion to watch them working.

Many old keepers had a toatlly false idea (handed down from their grandfathers!) of BOP, especially with regard to their posh poultry farms! Some unfortunately still do

Four hungy teenagers waiting for lunch now!

They all look fit and well; fingers crossed for all four fledging and thriving.

Thanks for that webcam, just discovered this thread!

If you want to watch a great tit, here is a German webcam in a birdhouse. Not much action yet, just one egg, but in a few weeks...

 

[Elen Sentier]

Much washing and grooming going on - all 4 seem to be well still

 

[TasMonk]

Thanks for sharing this! I just clicked through and got to watch one of the adults feeding the chicks something that he/she had caught. Amazing to watch!

 

[Stringmaker]

You're welcome.

I love the thought that you are on the other side of the world watching some falcons in England. The interweb is a marvellous thing.

Here's a link (hopefully) to the webcam of the Peregrines nesting on the top of the Arndale Centre in Manchester.

I hope it works, I tried viewing it on my works laptop but got an 'error on page'. Probably to do with Java issues (my work laptop doesn't really like Java).

Hope it works...

As the page states, the RSPB also often have 'viewing stations' set up near the 'Big Screen', outside the Corn Exchange, for those who can get to Manchester, you can watch the birds in person thanks to the RSPB and their spotter scopes. Makes for a dangerously distracting lunchtime diversion.

This following link gives some history of the Manchester Peregrines, including the pair that nested atop the CIS tower (where I happen to work)

The Norwich peregrine are growing well and should be flying next week. I live next to the cathedral and there's a hawk and owl trust viewing tent in the grounds of the cathedral.

 

[Stringmaker]

Four handsome young birds now, definitely not chicks.

Lift off can't be long.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Just think. When they think they're ready to fly, they only get one chance to get it right. That looks a long way up!

 

[Globetrotter.uk]

A Buzzard is flying close to Norwich spire today, hope the birds are ok.

 

[Stringmaker]

All four fledged and gone; the platform is now empty.

Well done Mr. and Mrs. Peregrine, see you next year

I was working on a building site 2 years ago.The building is about 100 ft and on the building opposite (200ft) there is a small group of peregrines living there.It is amazing when they fly by you as close as 40 feet and can they move.

Damn! That was quick. Well done Mr & Mrs Peregrine, wish I'd had a final look. And four more peregrines to fly ...
