It's reassuring to know they're still together & that the parents continue to attend to them.<br />One peregrine on the nestbox ledge, where it looks like there's the remains of a meal, and another on the tower. They both seem to be adults.

We found the male and both juvenilles on the police mast. the youngsters were very active exercising their wings calling etc. Dad flew off and mum arrived (from the same direction) a few seconds later carrying a medium sized prey item. one of the young flew out to greet her but showed no interest in the food. The other called a little but did go for the food leading us to assume neither were hungrey. All seemed well when we left <br />Chris MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-35109609754725116592010-06-24T09:31:06.755+01:002010-06-24T09:31:06.755+01:0009.22 Two peregrines in view one on the nest - an ...09.22 Two peregrines in view one on the nest - an adult I think - and one on the tower but can't see if its an adult or junior.

These amazing birds deserve all the protection we can give them, & it's a privilege to be allowed to watch them. I do hope the two juveniles will grow up to be as successful as this pair.AnnieF.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005659812540485097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-54196416736172445232010-06-23T17:51:38.862+01:002010-06-23T17:51:38.862+01:00@PM ty for the reply, I thought it would be too la...@PM ty for the reply, I thought it would be too late in the season for another brood but never thought they could be redoing their vows. <br /><br />Will there be the passing of food while in flight? and can someone snap it/film it, well worth watching I thinks?Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100064700684767230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-65580114654689881392010-06-23T15:53:43.726+01:002010-06-23T15:53:43.726+01:00The displays being seen between the two adults on ...The displays being seen between the two adults on the nest ledge at the moment sound identical to those seen during courtship. ie head down, submissive posture, no movement and possibly some "ee-chupping" calls.<br /><br />It is far too late in the season for them to consider another brood. What I suspect we're seeing is a re-establishment of the bonds the adults have - not only with one another, but also with their nest site. (It something many humans do when the kids have finally left home, I'm told!)<br /><br />Don't be surprised if you see nest scraping from time to time, too. We've seen scraping activity by the male in October and November- all part, no doubt, of their pre-programmed instincts to assert their ownership of their favoured nesting spot.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-75926049360180971122010-06-23T14:03:20.682+01:002010-06-23T14:03:20.682+01:00Just seen a fantastic site whilst at home in Chest...Just seen a fantastic site whilst at home in Chester Green, what I assume to be one of the adult peregrines with 'lunch' (looked like some sort of bird, bit smaller than a pigeon I'd guess) calling to one of the other peregrines which came over and took it in the air, virtually turning upside down to do so.
