There was one adult peregrine in the tiny hole in the stonework above the nest platform before we went out. Also, the nave roof has been being repaired for the last four weeks so I suspect that has put the birds off. I'm sure the birds will return once the workers have gone.<br />Nick BNick B (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-27754749952773071402010-10-14T22:03:32.953+01:002010-10-14T22:03:32.953+01:00Terry et al: I was on the nave roof collecting pre...Terry et al: I was on the nave roof collecting prey remains on Monday with Tony Grantham.

(www.derby.gov.uk)<br />No doubt someone will get it fixed asap.<br />Meanwhile its a very clear night tonight in the UK tonight. If you have binoculars or a telescope, take a look at Jupiter and its four brightest moons over in the east at the moment. It's incredibly bright right now, and with a bit of luck you should be able to see Uranus above it, too.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-40637486198046571212010-10-10T18:44:43.767+01:002010-10-10T18:44:43.767+01:00I haven't been able to get hold of the video f...I haven't been able to get hold of the video feeds either.

Just on the north side, behind Chester Green Road there are some garages units just off City Road. There are around 15 absolutely immense conifer trees there in which between four to ten thousand starlings are known to roost most years. I put BBC onto them and they captured this footage last January: http://ow.ly/2R06hPeregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-17961236496450393922010-10-08T18:56:37.804+01:002010-10-08T18:56:37.804+01:00I missed the first 30 mins of Autumnwatch, just wa...I missed the first 30 mins of Autumnwatch, just watched it.

So glad to have been proved wrong. :)<br /><br />If anyone missed the 'Unsprung' follow-up, try to catch it on iPlayer before it goes. I admit, I am a fan of starlings but anyone who appreciates our feathered friends cannot fail to be amused by it.Terry, Herts UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581540633600423284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-89660162077849250532010-10-07T20:56:24.212+01:002010-10-07T20:56:24.212+01:00Just seen on Autumnwatch the clip of the Derby Cat...Just seen on Autumnwatch the clip of the Derby Cathedral peregrine bringing back a live woodcock at night.
