We know they hunt over Pride Park and Alvaston, but we've had reports of them hunting in various other parts of the city outskirts.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-85854077298425129112007-06-03T15:39:00.000+01:002007-06-03T15:39:00.000+01:00does any one know where the perigrins feeding grou...does any one know where the perigrins feeding ground is becuase every time i go into derby i look up to see if i can see one of the parents out hunting so please can any one answer my question? if you want to contact me with your answer my email address is jon_titterton@yahoo.co.ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-49774404469359797022007-06-02T23:27:00.000+01:002007-06-02T23:27:00.000+01:00As you'll now have seen, the chicks were ringed on...As you'll now have seen, the chicks were ringed on Friday 1st June. <BR/><BR/>With regard to noise - the birds are totally indifferent to it, even on a Sunday when they are rung constantly, and are glorious to hear.<BR/><BR/>Birds are only frightened by the unusual. They become accustomed to noises that they don't associate with risk. They are simply ignored by the peregrines and all the feral pigeons that live around the tower.<BR/>Speaking from personal experience, I can say that the bells are incredibly loud and quite startling when you hear them from the nest platform. But you get used to them!Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-16747439583064952492007-05-29T19:23:00.000+01:002007-05-29T19:23:00.000+01:00I love watching your little Peregrine's as they gr...I love watching your little Peregrine's as they grow.

Most birds would not be seen for dust by the noise they can make and from such a close proximity!!
