Last evening we saw 3 juveniles – numbers 80 (after her little early morning trip to the shops!!) and 93, the other one was shy and didn’t show the number. Mum tried to tempt 80 with some food and then took it to the ledge where 93 was sitting. At one point there were 2 peregrines on the Bell Tower.
Mum and 80
93 one of the boys
Two on the Bell Tower
Many apologies … after our first post telling you the numbers and sexes we had in advertantly swapped the numbers around. We have put that right now so all posts are correct!
Wow……….what an evening……..Two fledged 93 and 94………..both boys………!!
Exercising wings……..
Our boy 93
First to go is number 93 our little boy……..
Our boy
The second chick is down on the ramparts…..no major flight just enjoying the view….very normal behaviour when they are fledging….all will be fed and cared for during the whole of this process by the parents…….It’s number 80 one of the girls….
Little Girl
All is well as we all wait for them to fledge……Mum still brings in food……
Food
Food comes in …..chick tempted back to nest turret…….well not quite …….hunting round the cathedral. ….and the pidgeon looks on ……..not in awe……..
Temptation
No 94 is out of the nest box on the main ramparts ……but I think a big jump took him there not a flight…….
Ramparts
No one has fledged yet ……plenty of exercising of wings …..and looking like we are ready to fly ……mean while small parcels of food are occasionally brought in to the nest.
Nearly ready
The first one on top of the turret was no 94 ……one of the boys.
First on top
