Still around


 

A juvenile peregrine falcon's head with a cathedral tower behind it
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.

  1. 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?
