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…..!!
They have just finished eating again it seems they get bigger by the hour….,.
They just grow so fast …..another feed just a few minutes ago…..not long now until they start to look really prehistoric…..then they will blossom into fine young Peregrines.
Well last evening was a revelation just when you think you have seen it all there is always something different….Our boy had obviously fed very well ….without giving anything to anybody…..she was not happy!! So she decided to go hunting from the spire …..15 times she when after pray at high speed….first she caught something small….was still not happy so carried on until she caught a pigeon….It was truly a spectacular display of flying….we felt quite humbled but privileged to see such incredible flying….pictures will never do justice to what we witnessed!!!
Four little pickles in a row……..
They really are growing so fast ….tricky to see but there are four and all doing well…..
It was a lovely couple of days at the Cathedral with some really good viewing as the chicks grow …..it was so good to have so many visitors.
Two great viewing days at the Cathedral very busy Saturday and steady Sunday probably 800 visitors during the course of the weekend ….Thanks to all volunteers , friends that helped,The Cathedral and everybody that came to see us.
