There is a peregrine sat on the perch at the moment and I’m not sure if it’s one of the chicks, mother or father.

Just wondering if these fledglings are still being fed by their parents. If they are not very good at hunting for food, will their parents just abandon them?

i still see young birds being fed by their parents. Crows and magpies are particularly conspicuous because of the noise the youngsters make. i know that young peregrines take a year or so before they move out of their parents territory, it would make sense that they're hanging around for food...

I had my first visit to St George’s yesterday and didn’t see anything, apart from the nest box, but I wasn’t there very long, it was late afternoon.

When I was on the tram earlier on in the day, you could see the top of the building from West Street, and I thought I saw one flying around, but I could be wrong.
