Dinner

This morning a second youngster was spotted out of the nest – male 67.  He spent the rest of the day hopping around the battlements before making the leap back into the nest turret just before the RSPB finished their day.

No photos at present.

This afternoon at 2.45pm the first male peregrine no. 69 fledged.  He made a crash landing on the roof of Iceland in South Street.  We were very worried because the roof has a considerable amount of netting on it.  Luckily he got off safely and returned to the cathedral.  We were there to catch the whole sequence of events.

Lazy sunday

Sleeping beauty

Just incredible how the chicks have grown with the camera off for a few days.

Big chicks!

Boy have they grown…..about two weeks till they begin to fledge.

The camera is currently offline. We understand it will require a visit from Carnyx to put the problem right.

Last night the Chicks were ringed as usual by Graham Roberts. Below are pictures taken on the night by Luke Dray capturing the moment brilliantly. Thanks to Graham, Luke, and the Cathedral staff.

All four

Really………

Being weighed

Really good pictures Luke thank you for all your help!
