Well...Annie F asked if it was thawing yet in Derby. Well, it did warm up a bit on Saturday, but by Monday morning we woke to temperatures of -7 degrees Celsius and glorious sunshine.<br /><br />The cold won't bother our peregrines who have evolved to cope with mountain conditions, though smaller garden birds are likely to suffer without some assistance.<br /><br />There will be a break in webcam transmission on Dec 13th, due to electrical work being carried out at the Silk Mill Museum.<br /><br />I'm afraid I have incorrectly adjusted the aperture of one of our nest cameras in an attempt to stop the night time illuminator continuously switching on and off. We'll try and correct this on Tuesday or Wednesday this week.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-41305560301342091312010-12-05T20:56:36.816+00:002010-12-05T20:56:36.816+00:00It's still there1It's still there1AnnieF.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005659812540485097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-44405491278873969802010-12-05T19:35:28.554+00:002010-12-05T19:35:28.554+00:00One on the tower.
