Shame you aren't coming 3 weeks later - you could visit Derby's only glow worm colony which is in Mickleover. (These little beetles are amazing)<br /><br />But rest assured, we should have eggs hatching by then. 29th-30th April is our "due date".<br />We won't be announcing Watch points until we know we actually have some chicks to watch. Some years an entire clutch can fail, then be fine the following year. However, Nick Brown and his stalwart band of volunteers are already lining up dates for you. There are likely to be about three watchpoints per week, but they'll probably only start after mid-May when the chicks are large enough for there to be anything to see from the ground at Cathedral Green in Derby.<br /><br />Anyone else planning a trip to Derby to see our birds?<br /><br />New blog post coming shortly.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-42442071654267929542010-04-17T08:19:37.207+01:002010-04-17T08:19:37.207+01:00pidgeon was on the tower campidgeon was on the tower camPaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-13121179867703237872010-04-17T00:36:47.164+01:002010-04-17T00:36:47.164+01:00Hopefully there will have been an egg hatching bef...Hopefully there will have been an egg hatching before I leave for England on 3rd May.

But if they need editing down then that takes me even longer and it all has to be done at at home.<br /><br />PS - and rather off- topic, but if anyone has clear skies in the UK this evening around 8.45-9.15 you will be able to see Venus, Mercury AND a crescent moon all in very close proximity in the West just after sunset. All visible with the naked eye, too, if there isn't too much volcanic ash in the way!

He was crouched over them, his head to one side and so low it was almost touching the gravel, and she at one point bent down too, so they were almost beak to beak! He was extremely stubborn, but eventually, at about 13.24hrs., he gave in. He didn't seem very happy, but she wasn't going to take no for an answer this time.AnnieF.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005659812540485097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-23644160134020194132010-04-14T20:35:08.893+01:002010-04-14T20:35:08.893+01:0020:33, female is back, male has moved off, nice an...20:33, female is back, male has moved off, nice and simple.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100064700684767230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-25172837298860271552010-04-14T19:58:10.511+01:002010-04-14T19:58:10.511+01:00The falcon flew in at about 19.51hrs and stood ove...The falcon flew in at about 19.51hrs and stood over the tiercel for about 3 minutes, trying to persuade him to let her on, but he looked unimpressed, so she flew away again!AnnieF.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005659812540485097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-52650481052732328852010-04-14T19:56:25.904+01:002010-04-14T19:56:25.904+01:0019:48, an attempted change over, but the male is s...19:48, an attempted change over, but the male is sat firm on them eggs.<br /><br />Female is just standing over him, pitty it doesn't have sound I bet she's telling him to shift it. <br /><br />3 minutes and he's sat fast.
