I hope the bird is now OK, I wonder what had happened? It's really bizarre that nobody thought to alert the project, but it sounds as if the bird was in very good hands. It sounds as if the new Engagement Officer will have plenty of work to do as these are surprisingly lots of people still to reach. I could almost be tempted to apply myself but I think the commute might be a little bit too much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-19946993522599537182012-11-11T08:14:23.356+00:002012-11-11T08:14:23.356+00:00Both adult birds visible on the tower this morning...Both adult birds visible on the tower this morning, soaking up the sunshine.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256423040507698707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-10231491758878535492012-11-02T16:56:22.071+00:002012-11-02T16:56:22.071+00:00Very interesting watching the female peregrine scr...Very interesting watching the female peregrine scraping in the nest platform this afternoon. It looks like she's made quite a deep depression in the gravel. I've also noticed the birds caching their prey underneath the metal support strap in the centre of the platform recently. After feeding they've dragged the remaining prey parts right underneath the strap and then retrieved them later on. It looked as if there might have been the remains of a woodcock there one night but it was gone by the morning!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256423040507698707noreply@blogger.com
