We ALL appreciate what is going on with this project and full of enthusiasm for it. I log on several times a day and especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night, even tho some of the night shopts are not as good - this is NOT a criticism before anyone else has something to say.

In fact, it's a pleasure to receive suggestions, especially if we can deliver on them, as I've managed to do with the new comments facility. It's only by knowing what people find good and bad that we can improve - so keep the suggestions and positive criticism coming. It's a delight to throw so much of our own time into the peregrines because it's such an amazing project. <BR/>We try to monitor the cameras whilst doing other work, so we hope to have something to deliver fairly soon. Thanks for reporting the new arrival.<BR/>Nick M.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-27668571877659844052008-03-31T10:32:00.000+01:002008-03-31T10:32:00.000+01:00Any more news on a second egg?

I think we should just be very grateful for the great job they are doing and appluad them all on that,remember they are all doing it free and its all free to us. Well done guys at the project and thanks.

However, at the moment it is an unaccessible a building site, hence my comment calling it "Cathedral Building Site". I see it from my office window when I'm at work. Hopefully when it's finished it will be an improvement but we shall have to wait and see. The peregrine watchpoint was there last year but I don't know what, if anything, is planned this time. We could stop the traffic by standing in the middle of Full Street (the road between the Cathedral and the Green)or from a boat the river?!!
