Driving south over tinslet viaduct at about 12.00 today, a peregrine heading north on level with the barrier pursued by 3 black headed gulls.

I checked the dashcam footage to confirm but it's not worth posting 

It might have been their chick one was eating earlier. I couldn't make out exactly what it was, but it was small and didn't look like an adult bird of any kind. Do peregrines take prey from nests?

 

As for her on the egg or eggs. If the original one is still there, I wouldn't have though it would still be alive after so long out in the open. I hope I'm wrong though.

Just seen that there are at least 2 eggs there now.

Four eggs now, if history is anything to go by not all of them will hatch successfully though.

Chicks at the Notts one .

What has happened? Has the female not returned?

The Sheffield female is sat on her eggs at the moment.

And the Notts one looks like they just finished breakfast! A lot of feathers left.

Not sure what you mean. They both look like they are doing OK.

There was a bit of twitter panic overnight where it looked as if the eggs had been left for a bit and the female had gone missing. Thankfully it looks like panic over.
