As Nick says, it was a really hard winter which we've not had for ages. I've been forced to go out and look at local wildlife and I've checked on our local swan. Now, there's a bird you have to feel sorry for, she sits for the longest time so you think nothing could possibly happen. Can anyone tell me how female swans cope with feeding - will she nip off quickly and feed herself? Also, saw my first ducking - dead, really sad. I'm told the whole brood of 9 has perished. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Maybe because they were way too early and couldn't cope with the change in the weather? I also watched a pair of mandarin ducks - I think the male is mentally defective, he didn't seem to have a clue that the female was trying to seduce him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-82051315618698977392009-04-11T21:56:00.000+01:002009-04-11T21:56:00.000+01:00Once peregrines have settled into incubation mode ...Once peregrines have settled into incubation mode there's very little that will deter them from completing this stage of the breeding cycle so, althougfh without the web cams, no one can see into the nest platform, you can rest assured that the birds will be sitting tight right through to hatching.<BR/>On a natural cliff ledge, about the only things that might interupt incubation are a rock fall or the nest getting flooded out.<BR/>Neither of these are likely on our platform so I'm quite sure the birds will be there come Tuesday.<BR/>Nick B (DWT)Nick Brown (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-42238174541081086362009-04-11T21:03:00.000+01:002009-04-11T21:03:00.000+01:00i agree is there any way of letting us know if our...i agree is there any way of letting us know if our birds are all ok <BR/>i am also missing checking up on our little family <BR/>happy easter to all <BR/>jo alfretonjonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-84271409801881759002009-04-11T18:51:00.000+01:002009-04-11T18:51:00.000+01:00Also missing the webcams terribly.

Can someone on the project team please post a comment here just to reassure us that our peregrines are still fine, as we can't keep an eye on them for a few days?
