Good to hear that those involved are being so considerate to keep noise levels down to a minimum.<br /><br />Disurbing news re the dead peregrine falcon found in Dumfries & Galloway which has tested positive for the H5N8 bird flu virus. Seems to be in several parts of the country including latest in Leicestershire and Somerset where 2 dead wigeons were found.

It took a lot of planning and behind-t...Thanks all. It took a lot of planning and behind-the-scenes work to get to this point. Almost like a re-run of the initial 2006 installation.<br /><br />To answer Heather's point, yes, we did foresee the potential for disturbance whilst roofing works are completed, and liaised closely with the Cathedral and Natural England last summer when this work was being planned so as to ensure any such risk is minimised or removed. So, the scaffolding with its covering will be going up prior to egg-laying i.e. by the end of the first week of March. We have liaised with Natural England officers and advised that we believe the noise of building work from underneath the roof coverings will not affect them unduly, providing people cannot be directly seen by the falcons. We have a good working relationship with the cathedral and have previously worked with the builders, who will be aware of the need to keep voices down to a minimum when under the covers - but we accept that no major roofing repair can be done in silence. The covers will remain on the roof until well after the peregrines have fledged.<br /><br />Our pair are now getting on in years, and we have assumed they will indeed breed again next season. Should they fail to do so, all this planning and scheduling will not have been necessary. But everyone has worked hard to get the best possible outcome for all parties (peregrines included) and to work within the laws of the land. <br /><br />Wishing you all a very pleasant Christmas, wherever you are in the world.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-34173298421658918862016-12-23T09:10:56.163+00:002016-12-23T09:10:56.163+00:00So pleased to hear that everything went smoothly i...So pleased to hear that everything went smoothly installing the new platform, amazing the 'temporary' one has lasted ten years. Congratulations to all the team for such an amazing job, cerainly had a fine day for it and just in time before Storm Barbara strikes. Hope our peregrines appreciate their new home - wonder if the building work with all the scaffolding etc will upset them in any way. They do, however, seem to take most things in their stride so let's hope we have yet another successful breading season in 2017.<br /><br />Wishing all the Team and the many armchair viewers a very Happy Christmas.<br /><br />Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-83556934507819344862016-12-22T04:35:05.378+00:002016-12-22T04:35:05.378+00:00Thanks to everyone.
