As of this am the 11th March the Camera is live the link is at the top of this page on our website hosted by Carnyx on YouTube and can be found on Facebook and the Cathedrals website for the first couple of weeks there may be very little activity do not worry this will increase as we get to the end of the month when the eggs are likely to be laid …..enjoy !!

Lots of activity around the Cathedral with a lot of interaction between the Peregrines and the Ravens….This is going to be interesting…. short film from a couple of days ago of the pair feeding……

A new film clip for the coming season there will be more to follow but with the weather as good as it is we are out and about filming a lot so no time for processing … more soon I promise…don’t forget you can buy the new book on the Peregrines on the link below.

The new nest box has been installed . The old box got badly damaged by the youngsters last year they were a little over zealous with it towards the end of the season when they were fully grown. The box was built and installed by Graham Roberts and he and his son installed it yesterday. It has moved back to its original turret to minimise any disturbance from work to the cathedral which may begin again later in the year. Thank you Graham…..Good job…..!! Photographs by the Roberts Family….Thank you.

A very smart young Male bird spotted on the 17th January.in the beautiful morning light.
