NorthernStar Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I was lucky enough to catch the second hatch and first feeding today, so I took some screenshots. Sorry photos not in order but: top left: shows daddy eating eggshell after helping the chick out of shell. top right: shows floppy chick trying to get out of egg. bottom left: shows chick as it's about to be fed. bottom right: shows mommy bringing home the prey. http://i68.tinypic.com/29mslrp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be quiet at the moment. I’m ashamed to say I can’t tell the difference from the male and female but I have only got an iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Dinner has arrived, missed some of it because I had to answer the phone, but there is only the chicks is the nest at the moment. ---------- Post added 02-05-2018 at 20:32 ---------- It’s lovely getting a glimpse of the babies, covered in white fluff, or what ever it is. I tend to wonder what happens should an egg fail. Do the adults push it out of the nest, or eat it? Edited May 2, 2018 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Had a look earlier and it was feeding time, pleased to see there are now three hatched chicks. Check out my screenshots http://oi65.tinypic.com/a828l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I hatched egg usually just gets pushed aside, when the chicks are ringed it's usually collected and taken for DNAtesting by the university and also to see if they can determine why it didn't hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is still one egg that has not hatched. ---------- Post added 04-05-2018 at 10:11 ---------- The I hatched egg usually just gets pushed aside, when the chicks are ringed it's usually collected and taken for DNAtesting by the university and also to see if they can determine why it didn't hatch Thank you for the information. I think there is still one egg that has not hatched. I have googled Peregrine Falcons, to find out more about these birds. Very interesting.
