Are you aware that you also have a mention in Mike Dilger's excellent book "Britain's best Wildlife"? As I'm sure you're aware, I'm a massive convert to Derby, entirely due to the peregrines and the wonderful team who have done so much to capitalise on the fortune of the birds choosing your city. I have been known to come up on a day trip specifically for Watch Days. If I came up for a longer stay, I'd certainly choose to stay at Jury's and I'd ask for a room with a view directly over to the cathedral so I could sit in my room and birdwatch. I have wandered over to have a look at the hotel before and it's a very smart place! It was a bit of a shock to see the other side of the building - I'd vaguely imagined it might be a river but no, it's a mega-big road. I'm sure I can't be alone in thinking that Derby is special because I feel so welcome and part of the project. This is down to the Project Team and the special people who've helped, you're all stars.<br />Sue xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-90640405330657646202009-11-17T14:25:23.287+00:002009-11-17T14:25:23.287+00:00Two peregrines on the east wall lettering of Jurys...Two peregrines on the east wall lettering of Jurys Inn this morning at about 11:30am, one on the Y and one on the SJoyce S in Derbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494998861088991542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-3734446816885661832009-11-17T11:20:35.688+00:002009-11-17T11:20:35.688+00:00Nick, Phoebe, that's stunning!

Not only did she push the adult male (i.e. her dad) off the nest, she then investigated the eggs and did a small nest-scraping action over them. We were amazed, of course, but the book of words written by Derek Ratcliffe revealed that sometimes juveniles can even return from the previous year and assist with the feeding of the young! Whilst this is very unusual, it's not unknown, and it doesn't seem to pose any threat to next year's generation.<br />Nick.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-89463344190674673682009-11-16T22:26:23.551+00:002009-11-16T22:26:23.551+00:00There's an adult and a juvenile on the towerca...There's an adult and a juvenile on the towercam.

I wonder if you got extra special treatment because of your interest in the falcons!<br />@DonM Thanks for the information about the nest box placed on Jurys Inn at Exeter (my old university town) I've emailed them to ask for further information, as I'd not heard of news of breeding - I thought they were still at St Mary's. I'll report back if I learn anything more.<br /><br />@everyone. If you make a visit to Derby Cathedral anytime between now and Dec 19th you have the opportunity of supporting a wide range of UK and international charities by buying your Christmas Cards from the stalls set up indside the cathedral.
