It'll make searching him out simpler whenever it is that I am able to visit! Yes, the weather has put a damper on things for now, the view of one of the pair yesterday was of them sitting on a carpet of snow. Just a week ago, it felt like Spring had sprung with reports of the first brimstone butterfly. But no, it's as Roger McGough has it in his poem "The Fight of the Year". Spring will come eventually .... but it does feel far off today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-86400805212400949092013-03-11T15:22:35.729+00:002013-03-11T15:22:35.729+00:00There's a peregrine sat in the right side of t...There's a peregrine sat in the right side of the tray.phoebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-53904259369524292652013-03-11T15:14:06.821+00:002013-03-11T15:14:06.821+00:00Hi Sue: the west door is the main door into the ca...Hi Sue: the west door is the main door into the cathedral from Irongate (the nest platform is on the east face of the tower so the west door is under the opposite side of the tower if that makes any sense)?<br />There are carvings either side of the west door, just above head height, one of them is the 'proper green man', the other just a head.<br />Snowy and very cold here today...not (peregrine) mating weather for sure!!<br />nick B (DWT)Nick B (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-60087428462708268842013-03-11T15:00:49.984+00:002013-03-11T15:00:49.984+00:00I've been a Derby follower for ages and I neve...I've been a Derby follower for ages and I never realised you had a lovely Green Man too! Pardon my massive religious ignorance, but which is the west door, is it the big main entrance? I will definitely seek him out on my next "peregrination" to Derby .... which if I'm very lucky may be as soon as Thursday (if I can summon up the courage to tackle Derby's ring road, a scarey prospect) Those who know me will know what I'm journeying for if I say I will be retrieving a certain pot of BRONZE AWARD winning marmalade from Penrith (yes, it's worth it). It'll also be another opportunity to look for the peregrines too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-1827330980231940842013-03-11T11:19:22.583+00:002013-03-11T11:19:22.583+00:00Hi Slumpy: we are aware of a problem with the new ...Hi Slumpy: we are aware of a problem with the new 'pud' cam, probably caused by the fact that it sticks out more than the old model and seems to be catching the rain etc.<br />Nick M will try to sort this out asap but that may not be until Saturday at the very earliest due to other pressures on him.<br />Nick B (DWT)Nick B (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-90159978859573746652013-03-11T11:08:53.921+00:002013-03-11T11:08:53.921+00:00Has one of the birds been leaning against the pudd...Has one of the birds been leaning against the pudding cam?
