Exciting! That display in the shape of the nest platform is great and Nick B's comments show how vital the design is. Been thinking that the Derby peregrines later egg-laying than their neighbours has proved to be a weather-beating strategy in past years so fingers crossed. This weather isn't great for exposed eggs or brooding parents but at least the pair are not trying to feed tiny chicks as well. Their determination to remain on the nest in the face of cold wind and rain is truly incredible. I hear that the weather is likely to improve tomorrow so here's hoping!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910593047048811506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-57358060764873917712015-05-03T07:37:10.695+01:002015-05-03T07:37:10.695+01:00Sunday 3rd May: it really is an awful morning in D...Sunday 3rd May: it really is an awful morning in Derby with the cold wind, being Easterly, in exactly the 'wrong' direction for the nest since it is coming straight onto the incubating bird.<br />Fortunately, the drain holes in the bottom of the platform seem to be working and there is no apparent build up of water in the gravel. The parent birds, especially the female, will sit through thick and thin on those eggs, how ever wet their feathers get. <br />The rain is due to stop by lunchtime and tomorrow will be a dry day so with luck our eggs will survive this episode and hatching won't occur just yet. Fingers crossed!.<br />Nick B (DWT)Nick Brown (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-43050501632553403412015-05-03T06:56:58.102+01:002015-05-03T06:56:58.102+01:00Morning all

I will attempt to see if I can remotely access the PC within SERCO's offices to restart this - but don't hold out too much hope!<br />Meanwhile, I'm not convinced I've entirely solved the problem, so please continue reporting issues with all four Streams.<br />Thanks<br />Nick M<br /><br /><br /> Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-17564739531880524642015-05-02T11:03:32.058+01:002015-05-02T11:03:32.058+01:0010.40am May 2 Mr P. arrived for changeover.

This can vary between 2 seconds, 5 seconds and even 15 seconds and sometimes screen will freeze altogether. <br /><br />Don't know if this is due to me using iPad but seems others have noticed this problem too. Again, like others, not complaining just hope we can get it sorted before the chicks begin hatching.

So, if the same schedule holds out, my money would be on this coming weekend - probably Saturday, although I have been known to be wrong (many more times than she cares to remember, says my wife)Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-50081723513177053252015-04-30T20:22:12.799+01:002015-04-30T20:22:12.799+01:00Please note that tomorrow morning (Friday 1st May)...Please note that tomorrow morning (Friday 1st May) due to some essential electrical maintenance and upgrade work in the cathedral, it could be that the web cams go offline for up to 30 minutes.<br />Hopefully it will be less (and maybe only for a few minutes) but if the web cams suddenly disappear, you'll know why and not panic!<br />Please bear with us if they do disappear temporarily....<br />Nick B (DWT)Nick Brown (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-69817577640600741402015-04-30T15:58:40.557+01:002015-04-30T15:58:40.557+01:00Hi Ann.
