Chichester Peregrine Blog

There are three in this picture can you see the third one??

Getting bigger now and have lost a lot of fluff. Just over a week before we can expect them to fledge.

The peregrines are on fine form at Chichester giving very good views at the moment. It will only get better towards the end of the month when the youngsters take to the skies.

Great flying at the moment

Dad comes in with a small snack,the chicks are now four weeks old and nearly as big as their dad.

If you can’t see us we are exploring please don’t worry as we are quite safe its very difficult to fall out of the tower unless we want to fly.Its about two weeks until we fly, the picture below could be all you see of us unless we are tired and go back in the box for a sleep.

walk-about

Our three youngsters are growing fast. You can easily see their feathers growing on wings and tail.  Yesterday they went walkabout outside the nest so do not worry if you cannot see them – the camera does not cover all of the floor area of the turret.

Don’t forget to look at the new gallery of pictures taken as the chicks were being ringed.

In case you are all worried about the camera being off, it is because the chicks have been ringed this evening.  We have 2 girls 63, 65 and a boy 62.  (Ring 64 broke as it was being put on the bird)

Picture of Graham with one of the girls.

They are growing so fast at the moment just a few days and they are really getting so much bigger.

What a Difference!

Once again we have an intrepid chick out of the nest. “He” seems to want to play hide and seek but the others don’t want to join in!!!

I’m hiding!!

2 of our chicks are in the nest and the third is out on the right hand side. It sort of fell out but has been well fed and I expect it will be able to make its way back again.

2 in 1 out

These hungry chicks need lots of food they are growing fast.  You can now see the beginnings of feathers.
