Chichester Peregrines life goes on
So it’s very hard to say and a little bit of a shock but I think we only have two now .Yesterday the two seemed to get all the food .This is very unusual as Peregrines are fantastic parents and never favour one over the other. This morning after watching and watching again I am sure only two are alive. Maybe one was not quit right and Mum knew this….but what ever the reason …we have just two. As for the fourth egg for me it is now not viable. So with a heavy heart this year we just have two. We still have the family to watch and let’s hope we can see them all the way through to Fledging. Thank you all for all your support….x
