Ready, steady, go

 The three youngsters are on the verge of fledging...in fact one of them (044) was either pushed off the platform, fell off or tried to fly off on Tuesday. It's rescue is related in the previous blog post - please scroll down to read about it.

Today (3 June) photographer Dave Farmer took these great photos of one of the two youngsters remaining in the nest platform. Antony Pooles also visited the cathedral today and commented that it was running along the edge of the platform and flapping its wings. So it should make its maiden flight in the next couple of days.
Thanks to Dave and Antony for your help/photos:

Web cam watchers will probably be the first to notice that two becomes one in the platform but beware...sometimes a youngster can climb up out of view of our cameras.....
If one does come to ground someone will notice it and report it to the cathedral or the police and they will give us a call and we will catch it and return it to the top of the tower.
hopefully they will fledge safely.....and the one on the top will be successful second time around!
