The peregrines are still using the platform on Derby Cathedral, much to the delight of at least a few dedicated web cam watchers who regularly post updates in the comments! It's well-worth checking these out at the bottom of the most recent post as it will give you an idea of what's been happening recently.
To stop spammers, we don't permit comments to be added to any blog post that is more than three months old. So, this post is simply to refresh that timer during the 'quiet season'. Please remember to add topical comments only to the most recently published post.
It's quite normal to see occasional nest scraping activity even in the depths of winter, as one or other of the adult birds reinforces their link to the nesting platform. Feel free to add any observations that you've made whilst watching our webcams to the comments below.

Notice that there appear to be a couple of birds legs, remains of a meal no doubt, with rings attached. I can see two with different colours (yellow and blue). Can anybody provide a background information on what birds these are from and will the rings be collected at some point and returned to the ringers?
Thanks for the new page and that great pic!
Lots of noise, 2 then 1, who left a short while later
Dreadful weather just now, hope our Peregrines have decent cover ...

Just came on after a few weeks and lovely to see one sat at home :)
Yes ...someone at home sitting preening enjoying the view
Finally! Ah I missed them.
Giving its tail feathers a good clean
Giving its wings a good old stretch
Also he (she?) keep opening the mouth wide as if they have something stuck on their throat. I Wonder what’s the true reason.
Flew off a min ago
It’s back!
It’s gone away again.
Female (I think) is back :)
Ones back again
Still there
Looks like ones back to sleeping on the bottom layer again
Someone's home enjoying the view and sunshine
Still there preening
Just flew off
Both have appeared, lots of noise
Yes!!
Missed seeing the pair but here's Mum preening ...

Glad to have seen the peregrines on the webcam today I've missed them most times!
Looks like it's having a nap
Just looked and saw ones back
Computer problem and when I looked again its gone
back again!
So pleased they keep returning shortly after departing!
So good to see Mum again

Having a look about
Love the way she looks at camera ...

Same!
Can just see someone's feet
If its the same one, its been there a long time. Cam 2
Still there!
The male went a short while ago and I've got a feeling this is the female now as it looks bigger???
Is that the one that's still there
Think so
Cam 1 is that hole in the floor, top right, I'm sure I can see the roof below
Someone's come home early busy preening
Definitely a hole 😞
Female (think it was) flew off and male is now there
Still there ..if it's the same one
I see Mum perched on shingle scrape ledge, not much of her head though!
It’s like a peregrine roll.
Very pleased they keep returning home

Just now someone was home for about ten minutes and then flew off (to hunt for breakfast, I presume).
We have an adult on the platform (currently cam2).
Never mind, they flew away as I was sending the comment, lol.
