A greyer day...Watchpoint Report – Saturday 20 June<br /><br />A greyer day than we’ve had of late and quite chilly out of the sun but some good views of all the peregrines were had by all who came down to the Cathedral Green.<br /><br />When we set up, only the adult male and the two males juveniles could be seen. Dad was in his usual perch high in the stonework of the “window” above the nest and the two youngsters were up by Pudding Cam finishing off the remains of an earlier meal. Little changed with these three until Dad flew off and was last seen heading Northeast very high up – presumably on a hunting trip – at about midday.<br /><br />At about 11.00, the adult female flew in from behind us and landed just below the nest platform where she stayed for about twenty minutes before flying off low to the North accompanied by the remaining female juvenile. She was later seen sat on one of the aerials on top of some nearby flats where she remained for most of the rest of the session. The female juvenile wasn’t seen again until about 1.00 o’clock when she appeared on the aerial which her mother had recently left to return to the Cathedral.<br /><br />Finally, just as we were starting to pack away at 1.30, she returned to the Cathedral and we were treated to the whole family in front of us, although in true peregrine fashion there was very little activity - until the last of the equipment was put away, at which point the adult female took off and circled around briefly, being joined by one of her offspring with much calling from all the youngsters. This has become a feature of the Saturday watchpoints – as soon as we start to clear away, it all starts to happen!<br /><br />Today was our last watchpoint for this year, although inevitably we will visit from time to time to check on progress. Thankyou to all who visited for taking the time to show an interest in these magnificent creatures and for your kind donations which go towards the cost of running the project and the webcams and thankyou especially to Luke’s mum for the cream cakes today – they were much appreciated!<br /><br />Andy, Chris, Helen & Nick B.Andy and Chris Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-51343149614565694152009-06-20T19:57:50.124+01:002009-06-20T19:57:50.124+01:00one on the pudding cam, one on the scrapeone on the pudding cam, one on the scrapePax Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-10633147843264313002009-06-20T19:48:37.656+01:002009-06-20T19:48:37.656+01:00try clicking here
