Chichester Peregrine Blog

Beautiful afternoon saw an un-ringed juvenile come in to have a look at the Cathedral…he was not welcomed and chased off as soon as he came in close to the spire …..showing that green 34 is very much in charge of the cathedral.

There will be a new Website for 2019 for www.chichesterperegrines .co.uk at the moment the site is under reconstruction. Both birds have been seen on the spire in the last few days. Exciting time ahead for the new season……

There is now a resident female back on the Cathedral I will do my best to profile photos to work out if it’s our old female back or a different bird. Oh it would be so easy if she had a ring ……but what great news to have a female back……pictures from yesterday ……

NEW FEMALE PEREGRINE

On 6th November Male Green 34 and an unringed female were seen together on the Cathedral by Graham.  She was looking into the nest turret and he was close by.  Is this the start of another beautiful friendship??  We will keep you posted.

Green 34 is still very much in charge ……on a beautiful autumnal evening he was sitting quietly surveying his domain……looking very perky…..after enjoying a good meal…..!!

Three weeks and counting….

Three weeks and counting….

Number 34 green is now completely in charge of his Cathedral strong hold now in residence for 16 days and showing his authority at every opportunity. No sign of the female or the male …..so Mum and Dad are not around……A very different year with so much drama…..we have to hope that Mum and Dad carry on feeding the juveniles away from the Cathedral….because the normal training around the Cathedral is not happening ….yesterday the resident male attacked one of the juveniles as it came in …..poor pictures below due to the extreme distance away.If anyone spots any of the juveniles away from the cathedral and can see a number to identify it please email us at rockdjshaw@gmail.com with details .The numbers you are looking for are black rings 93,94,95…….Thank you for your help…..The juveniles have a chance if the parents are still feeding them but obviously this is not an ideal situation…..we will keep you informed if there are any further developments that we hear about.Pictures below….and thank you once again!!

By the end of the evening we had seen two of the juveniles but it is a very unusual situation……we will just have to wait and see how it pans out……we will keep you informed of any further developments…..

We have one juvenile back here being fed by Mum so I am sure the others are not far away…..
