Ringing goes well

Update 10th May: the two chicks continue to grow well and are even feeding themselves from scraps left on the platform. Here's a video from Wendy taken today:

The ringing of the two chicks today (8th May) went smoothly as usual and the two were quickly returned to their nest with bling on their legs!One chick was 200grams heavier than the other so we have a female and a (smaller) male.

All photos by Watch Point volunteer Joyce Sawford to whom thanks.
And massive thanks to Jess Eades (the abseiler) and Chloe Pritchard (the ringer) for their expert help today.

The ring details are: 

the likely FEMALE:   Orange Colour Ring = XLN;  BTO metal ring = GY69751; weight 738g.

The likely MALE : Orange Colour ring XNN,  BTO ring GY69752, weight 538g.

(Note: these details have been updated as the male ring letters were initially given incorrectly)

Here's Wendy Bartter's condensed video of the whole ringing process, taken from the web cams:

Ps There will be four Watch Point events starting later this month when the chicks are visible from the ground. Details to follow later.

This project is managed by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust with support from The Cathedral, Cathedral Quarter and the city council's IT team to whom thanks.
