On our Aylesbury web site, there's now a link to YouTube with a selection of video clips. Were you supposed to reveal a predicted Derby hatch date, or is the guessing game finished? For anyone new to Derby, it has reassured ththem that they can relax and know a hatch is should be certain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-60217530467113181532012-05-04T10:31:00.012+01:002012-05-04T10:31:00.012+01:00Various responses to people's posts:
For thos...Various responses to people's posts:<br /><br />For those asking about why we don't have fully live video - this was something we had intended to introduce in 2011, but staff cuts within the partnership meant no-one was availabnel to take this forward. However in 2012 we are working away behind the scenes on thsi and hope to have some news on this soon.<br /><br />Meanwhile we think one of our video recorders has frozen inside the Cathedral, so can we all keep our fingers crossed that hatching occurs after I've been able to get in to Derby to fix it? I no longer work in the city centre, so fixing problems now takes longer than it used to.<br /><br />I'll be monitoring the cameras over the weekend, so hope to be zooming in on any imminent hatching event.<br /><br /><br />Recent storms: There have probably been many losses of birds during the recent bad weather. We see adutls getting sodden, and maybe in strong winds they are less able to control their flight. However, it more the newly-fledged birds that are at greatest risk. As a rule, we don't normally discuss the locations of other more sensitive sites on this blog.<br /><br /><br />Hatching is expected around 5th May, but there is always some variation. Should all eggs prove unviable we might expect to see the aprent birds sitting ont hem for some considerable time before eventually abandnoing them. Wwe have no experience of that happening in Derby, so I can't say how long that might be - perhaps another week or two?Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.com
