Sheffield peregrine falcons

She's back now, empty handed.

Poor little chicks are starving..

According to the peregrines twitter,  there's an intruder in the vicinity and there's no mention of a dead chick...

It is on the college roof.

 

Unpopulated currently, I believe — there’s a hope that one of these chicks will nest there.

Food seems to be in short supply?

I think it's a one parent family.

I walked round St George’s Church a few years ago. Didn’t see any of the peregrine’s flying around the chicks had already started to leave the nest for longer periods. There was plenty of pieces of dead bird on the ground below the nest box and graveyard. Its part of nature but it did put me off watching the peregrine’s during feeding time.

However it would be nice to see the chicks in the first few days when they start to test their wings but still spending a lot of time perched around the nest. If I lived in Sheffield I would walk past the church during this time, not below the nest box or graveyard, just to see if I could see the chicks exercising their wings.
