We've not got our webcam up and running at the moment but behind the scenes work is going on - and we expect to be on the telly tonight! It'll be on the ITV News, Meridian region (not Derby's I expect?) and is on the website here http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/story/2012-11-29/success-of-falcon-project/<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-33660254589608479052012-11-28T13:37:21.021+00:002012-11-28T13:37:21.021+00:0013:35 hrs 28/11/12 one peregrine sitting quietly o...13:35 hrs 28/11/12 one peregrine sitting quietly on video 2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-53864852917198516412012-11-26T20:49:35.066+00:002012-11-26T20:49:35.066+00:00Hi Sue: I was in Derby today and both peregrines w...Hi Sue: I was in Derby today and both peregrines were on Jurys Inn for a part of the morning with one briefly on the nest platform as well. The day cheered up quite well actually once the early rain stopped.<br />The River Derwent is extremely high (though not flooding). There was a report of a few waxwings on Bold Lane in the city a day or two ago but I didn't have a chance to check them out.<br />Nick BNick B (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-21434915668078731622012-11-26T11:45:40.268+00:002012-11-26T11:45:40.268+00:00Can't see any signs of peregrines on the webca...Can't see any signs of peregrines on the webcams today. It looks so horrible in Derby today - leaden sky and low cloud. That's about the same as we have here in Aylesbury. I came past Derby on the train last Tuesday (20th Nov) and the weather was bad then too with a lot of flooding. The rivers around Derby were raging torrents. I guess the peregrines have found somehere more sheltered to sit out the weather?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-17018756573810864472012-11-22T20:47:30.243+00:002012-11-22T20:47:30.243+00:00Thanks Ian...you did well to spot that!

I wonder, did that blackbird get away?<br />Our Aylesbury peregrines are still around the platform, from time to time. Our platform will soon get its annual clean up - it looks like yours will soon be due too? We're also still enjoying the sight of waxwings in Aylesbury. They're around an industrial park which has big retail outlets - and ornamental trees of the type DWT Nick mentions in the header entry. Some of the bucksbirders are a little concerned that this year's supply of berries has already taken a bashing and there is a concern that the birds will be be struggling to find food as the winter progresses. Maybe some of our winter migrants will need to press on southwards in search of food?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
