What a surprise to see the pudding cam working this morning and a very windswept looking peregrine on the ledge. Can't wait to see more pictures. It's good news to hear that a peregrine has been seen on East Mill. Do you know if it was looking for a nest site? Or is it too young to be nesting and having its own young. Does it even have a mate? I must stop off and look next time I'm passing the Mill. Look forward to hearing more news of this youngster. Are the ravens still around? A pity they can't get on with the peregrines, rather than stealing their food!

The white block of flats in the foreground also shows up. In 2006 the juveniles perched on the top of those flats but only briefly....they are much lower than the cathedral tower and the police HQ aerial which is another favoured perching spot.<BR/>Nick BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-89689359934580963072008-03-05T23:27:00.000+00:002008-03-05T23:27:00.000+00:00Pax B.C. 3.26pmfalcon seen on the pudding cam.Kare...Pax B.C. 3.26pm<BR/>falcon seen on the pudding cam.<BR/>Karen I wondered if the string of lights was a bridge??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-50856775732831037062008-03-05T22:33:00.000+00:002008-03-05T22:33:00.000+00:00Seeing another photo of the bird which shows its r...Seeing another photo of the bird which shows its right leg, it seems the bird has NO rings on either leg so therefore can't be a Cathedral youngster and must be from somewhere else.<BR/>Opinions as to its sex differ a bit but at least people agree that it seems to be a second year bird (ie was fledged in 2006).<BR/>It was on the North side when I left the office at 5.45pm, Wednesday, probably intending to roost there,<BR/>Nick BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-51104696377435671072008-03-05T19:07:00.000+00:002008-03-05T19:07:00.000+00:00I've always wanted to see a bog :-)Yes, pax, very ...I've always wanted to see a bog :-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, pax, very pretty view from the pudding cam, what is that string of lights?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-65795740728872291042008-03-05T17:56:00.000+00:002008-03-05T17:56:00.000+00:00pax B.C. 9.35amFalcon on the nest, love the view f...pax B.C. 9.35am<BR/>Falcon on the nest, love the view from the pudding (yorkshire) :) cam<BR/>so nice to see the falcons back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-66976319597653287962008-03-05T17:35:00.000+00:002008-03-05T17:35:00.000+00:00Subscribing 'on the bog somewhere' sounds entertai...Subscribing 'on the bog somewhere' sounds entertaining Karen! <BR/>Nice typo!<BR/>Nick BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-76288284007710228782008-03-05T17:27:00.000+00:002008-03-05T17:27:00.000+00:00Here's what Nick just sent out to the peregrine em...Here's what Nick just sent out to the peregrine email list (directions for how to subscribe on the bog somewhere.):<BR/><BR/>"A new camera was installed today on top of the tower of Derby Cathedral. It will be under test during the following week, so its picture will replace that from the right hand side of our nest ledge. We hope we may see some roosting and feeding activity, even at night. It is infra-red enabled and we’re looking forward to seeing how this works when it gets dark here in the UK in an hour’s time. We may also see some of the recent raven activity, though this has mostly been on a different side of the 450 year old tower.<BR/><BR/>The main “nest scrape” pictures will still be viewable during this period. We recently increased the refresh rate of our web cam pictures, though lack of funds prevents us from being able to bring a full audio/video feed at this time."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-58350175303120819462008-03-05T17:21:00.000+00:002008-03-05T17:21:00.000+00:00Falcon on the left hand camera, pudding cam on the...Falcon on the left hand camera, pudding cam on the right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-37674102988557261862008-03-05T15:23:00.000+00:002008-03-05T15:23:00.000+00:00I see the new camera is working.

Having had a chat with Nick B whislt there we were trying to work out if it was one of the young from Derby from the last few years,but we were struggling to get a view of the youngters leg although it did have a scratch with its left leg, and there was no red ring(checked back to last years photos to find out on what leg the red ring was on). So this would rule it out from being one of last years young,but who knows it could be from 2006! im also with Nick i think it looks abit maleish. Andy SimpsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
