There is a problem on the spire itself with power which is proving difficult to resolve….and completely out of our control…..mean while we are probably a week from fledging ….or less….and this weekend the 15th and 16th are two viewing days at the Cathedral with viewing from 10am-4pm on both days…..come and see us all ……

Growing very fast about a week until they start to think about fledging…..the camera is down and it has been reported to all the right people we wait to see if it can be recovered …let’s hope so……!!!

Another great viewing day at the Cathedral with a lot of playing on the wind by the adults….but boy it was windy….there again today and the weather looks set fair….come and meet us all there between 10am-4pm today Sunday……!!

More extraordinary by the day Meet them on Saturday and Sunday viewing days from 10am -4pm weather permitting .

Open days this weekend 8th and 9th June 10am – 4pm both days weather permitting and we are also there for the two weekends following…..should be some great viewing….come along and meet us and the Peregrine family…..

Well every year I watch and I never quite believe how fast they grow and transform into the incredible birds that they are. All of them have just discovered wings….It can be quite amusing to watch them practice…..

All went well at the ringing which took place after EvenSong this evening.  Details of the 4 chicks:

Please do not be worried if they are not always in the nest they do tend to go walk about now to find shade or to explore…..they are lucky they can not fall out…..!!

My good friend Kate Marie did this great picture of Maverick from one of my pictures…..I really love it and hope you all do too!!

They have just finished eating again it seems they get bigger by the hour….,.
