We realise many watchers still check the cameras and observe the birds roosting there, and we're sorry these views will no longer be available to you. It is an essential precursor for removal of the platform components themselves, and over the summer we will try to relocate the camera to give a second view from the new tower-top box.

I'm sure many of you are watching other peregrine nests with chicks but why not also try the honey buzzard nest webcam in Sussex?
The nest is in a tall tree and two chicks have recently hatched. They are fed either on frogs or bits of wasp nest which contains very nutricious wasp grubs.
The male has a grey head and white bib while the female is brown and speckled on her head.
These are migrant birds spending the winter in Africa, returning to the northern hemisphere in May.
They are not closely related to common buzzards.
Rare in the UK, they are common elsewhere in N. Europe and right across Russia. They don't breed in Derbyshire but there's usually a pair or two in North Notts.
