How wonderful, being able to view nature first hand, a priviledge to watch such a magnificent creature behaving as nature intended. If only humans displayed such dedication to duty! My boss and I log in daily to check on progress.

It comprises 224 changes of Cambridge Surprise Minor, lasts about 9 minutes AND IS A BIT LOUD! The full story behind that ringing can be found at:-<br /><br />http://www.rss-info.com/rss2.php?integration=if&windowopen=1&rss=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fderbyda&number=3&width=300&ifbgcol=FFFFFF&bordercol=D0D0D0&textbgcol=F0F0F0&rssbgcol=F0F0F0&showrsstitle=1&showtext=1<br /><br />Roger in DerbyRogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140547032694702163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-59960568424702106772009-05-11T18:47:00.000+01:002009-05-11T18:47:00.000+01:00I am planning to visit the Peregrines tomorrow, do...I am planning to visit the Peregrines tomorrow, does anyone know the best place to park?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.Phoebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-92232579436936360162009-05-11T17:25:00.000+01:002009-05-11T17:25:00.000+01:00@ Phoebe: Thanks for the summary - it was very goo...@ Phoebe: Thanks for the summary - it was very good to get such a quick clear view of recent events.

Three minutes later she is back with a snack. After about ten minutes she seems to be scratching around the scrape for titbits. Tiddler didn’t look to get very much that time. Then Mum is staring directly up. The chicks huddle together aw mum watches over them. Feeding time is over.<br /><br /><br />14:47 - On the pudding-cam I saw the tiercel land with some prey (mum is looking upward again) possibly seeing him land. He appeared to be struggling somewhat but then it was clear he was plucking as the feathers could be seen floating up against the wall. It took him quite some time I imagine the next feed will be a good one. Mum keeps looking upward.<br /><br />15:01 - I’ve just captured a good shot of the tiercel flying off in silhouette and a shadow thrown across on the Jurys Inn!<br /><br />15:15 - I missed mum leaving the nest but she is back with food, must have been what the tiercel left for her.<br /><br />Another feed this time a good one Tiddler got his fill now.<br /><br />15:20 – Mum quickly covered her chicks without disposing of any leftovers. All snuggled up now and mum is trying to sleep.Phoebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-30788876901458493542009-05-11T14:13:00.000+01:002009-05-11T14:13:00.000+01:00It's about time for the next feed I would think, b...It's about time for the next feed I would think, been 2 hours now.Phoebenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-28518191209854997532009-05-11T12:23:00.000+01:002009-05-11T12:23:00.000+01:00Oh dear......
