Kezart Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Don't think so just yet. I see one on the edge of the box and two on top of the box. Any time now though.... ---------- Post added 03-06-2017 at 10:42 ---------- Popped out for 30 mins and now it looks like one may have fledged, Talk about bad timing. Wish we could tilt the wide view camera up slightly to see what's happening on top of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Interpret Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) ahh yes can see them all now !! one balancing on one leg on the edge!! really wish they would re position the cameras for next year seems daft that we have a large view of building below the perch so we cant see them on top of it when they get a bit more adventureous surely it wouldnt be hard to do this?

Mischievous Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 All three back at the nest at the moment. Can anyone remember how long they keep returning for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melv Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It's not as easy as it seems to position the cameras. St Georges is a grade 2 listed building and they have strict regulations on what can and can't be done regarding the building. Many hoops had to be jumped through to get the present set up. There is also the case of raising funds to modernize the camera equipment and electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludragonfly Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Plenty of activity around the box this afternoon but soon the box will be empty far more often. To help withdrawal symptoms you can watch the Derby chicks which were born two weeks later so still plenty of white fluff http://www.derby.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/parks-and-open-spaces/wildlife/peregrines/peregrine-camera-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bludragonfly Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 We'll still see them occasionally as they perch near to the box now and again but it's down to the luck of timing to do so To help with the withdrawals ....... you can still watch the Derby chicks - they are growing quickly but should still be around for another week or so http://www.derby.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/conservation/peregrines/peregrine-camera-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Ritus Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 There is always the salisbury birds that were on spring watch, for a wild bird to accept a strange chick stuck in its nest is truly heartwarming, (missus in bits when they showed it on telly being fed by the adult Peregrine). http://salisburycathedral.org.uk/visit-what-see/peregrine-falcons-0 The webcam coverage is not so good as the chicks can walk off out of view as the crate is on the walkway rather than overhanging the building. I haven't seen them for a few days but they should return to the crate at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
