Jean spotted a fourth egg early this morning (Sunday 26th) so we now have a full clutch and incubation will begin in earnest.
Here's Jean's screengrab from this morning:
The story about the new male will be posted tomorrow.

The project is managed by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust with excellent help and support from The Cathedral staff, Derby City Council's IT team and Cathedral Quarter.
Many thanks to Jean for capturing pic of fourth egg, another brightly coloured one! (I left some comments on previous blog)
ReplyDeleteIntrigued re new male?
How do we see the picture?
DeleteThe evening before last, I thought I heard another peregrine overhead whilst the female was on the eggs and the male was perched on the edge next to her.
ReplyDeleteLast night I really thought we were only only going to have three eggs Wendy.
ReplyDeleteI too am intrigued to hear more about new male?
So pleased to see we have four eggs I was beginning to think, like Jean, we might only have three this year. They certainly know how to keep us guessing and now perhaps a new male on the scene, but who knows! Let’s hope for good weather during the long incubation period.
