Peregrine Falcons first nested on Derby's Cathedral, England, in 2006. Our Peregrine Project is now run by a partnership between Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Derby City Council, Derby Cathedral and the Cathedral Quarter. Here is what's happening in 2025. . .
07.43 on Friday June 8th. Some prey brought in. Looked to be mammal father than bird.

I know it IS going to happen, but it is hard to believe that these creatures, that seem, on the webcam pictures, to lie around around as unidentifiable big dishrag heaps of scruffy feathers, are very soon going to turn into beautiful, elegant falcons. Magic!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that report - we'll check the video recordings later today, and report back.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it is so hard to believe they will soon be elegant flying creatures. Just look back less than 30 days ago to our video clips on May 17th or May 11th to see how rapidly they have developed.
Peter, I checked the video recordings this morning, but at 7.45 it was clear to me that the pergrines were feeding a small bird to the chicks, not a mammal. Many thanks though.
