Prey now all eaten and it's sitting watching the world ah just gone. I don't know how to get a screen snap but did a print screen and saved it in a doc. Nick do you want to see? I may be wrong but don't think it was one of our adult birds. Linda (ps Lorraine I have coffee in hand lol!)

She remained in view well into the early hours. Have spotted her overnighting a few times lately, either on the tower or, more recently, the scrape, despite chilly weather.<br /><br />Maybe this is the breeding instinct starting to kick in. Her increasing visits back to base have already prompted a bonding visit by the tierce, about a week ago, which I saw during a lucky tune-in.<br /><br />One's been perched on the end of the scrape for ages and ages just now, whilst I'm watching and trying to catch identification on. <br />Laters........<br />PS - it's the falcon - she's just moved into the scrape and sat on the hollow !<br />Time 13.30<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318770820387442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-29214344961561497002015-01-26T22:56:59.927+00:002015-01-26T22:56:59.927+00:00I've just logged on to see a peregrine eating ...I've just logged on to see a peregrine eating prey on the scrape.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284500199021475114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-35805735697881733412015-01-24T15:20:47.992+00:002015-01-24T15:20:47.992+00:00Thanks for You Tube link Nick B and interesting nu...Thanks for You Tube link Nick B and interesting nugget of info about how the birds 'e-chupp's' change over the years, so look forward to checking this out later.<br /><br />Can also appreciate afresh, just how much effort goes on behind the scenes for our enjoyment.<br /><br />If any of us see anything unusual or noteworthy during the coming season, we must all do our best to note the Cam time as CLOSELY as possible, as this could save Nick M hours of selfless effort whilst trying to pin down an unusual Cam event on the video server.<br /><br />The two "Nicks" - The two "P's" -<br />well, there simply wouldn't be one without the other would they !! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318770820387442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-56319388326421469852015-01-24T08:05:12.557+00:002015-01-24T08:05:12.557+00:00Keep up the hard work and enthusiasm Nick its very...Keep up the hard work and enthusiasm Nick its very much appreciated Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770166243606745322noreply@blogger.com
