Chichester Peregrine Blog

The fourth egg was laid this morning, great news for us and the new female. Also a intruding juvenile female has been about the cathedral the last two days, even landing on the building at one point.

The third egg was laid during the night, it was first spotted at 5am. Below shows a picture of all three.

The female with all three eggs.

The second egg was laid around 7pm this evening.  Please look at our website for the webcam.

We still only have one egg lets hope we have another one by tomorrow morning .Normally one is laid every 24/48 hours until a full clutch of 4 and then the incubation can begin .So here’s to a little success tonight.

We still only have one egg.  Dad took his first turn on the nest it is obviously very new to him, he was there all of 30 seconds.

we believe some of you are having problems with the camera link, if you persist in reloading the page it will work.  We are watching 4500 miles away and it’s fine here. Good luck to Mum and Dad with the egg/s.

Well done to our Mum. She has laid an egg – the first of 4 we hope. We may be a long way from Chichester but have been avidly watching the nestcam at very opportunity to see how things are progressing.

An egg at Last

Watching from along way away but thanks to the Web cam still able to keep you all up to date still no eggs . As the birds are different and all of their activity is normal I would say there is no need to worry at the moment . When things like this have happened on other sites…..change of one or more bird it can delay egg laying for up to one month. So no need to worry yet.

We are pleased to report that it is possible to view the webcam on an iPad and iPhone with an app available from the app store. The Photon flash browser is available for iPad and iPhone for about £2.50 each. Enjoy!

Thank you to the RSPB for finding this app.

No eggs yet. Our male is trying hard!!

Over the last couple of days the camera hasn’t been working well but is now on line again. It is viewable on Android devices but sadly not on iPads and iPhones although if you have an iMac or MacBook you can watch on them. We have chased up the RSPB on this situation but have no answer as yet.

Our peregrine pair have been mating a lot over the past week and seeing off Kites, buzzards, sparrowhawk and a dog fight with a juvenile that came a bit too close on more than one occasion. With much thanks to our friend David for all this information. However we still have no eggs!!
