Normally at Chichester there are four eggs .For what ever reason (and we don’t know the answer ) this year we have three. Both birds are sitting well taking turns ,eggs will hatch end of April , beginning of May. ‘Eggcellent News’…..Ouch…..!!! Dad makes a dramatic exit…!!

The Male Peregrine has decided that the best place to perch is right up the top of the spire by the Cockerel….It must be the most fantastic view from up there …!!
