When I arrived at about 4:20pm the second juvenile was on a chimney behind the Silk Mill Museum where s/he stayed throughout doing plenty of flapping and stretching. The falcon was seen flying overhead coming in with the prey and the tiercel behind her. The first juvie was seen on the aerial mast near the assembly rooms. We were all treated to a very good air display featuring the falcon and the first juvenile – the falcon was flying around high above the nave roof with food in her talons tempting the juvenile who was flying after and around her trying to get the food they were out of sight until eventually they both landed on a pinnacle where the juvenile had her meal, I don’t know if she got the food in the air or not. The juvie was flying very powerfully it was a real treat!<br /><br />When I left at 7:40pm all four birds were in view – the second juvie still on the Silk Mill Museum chimney, the first juvie half way down the left pinnacle with the falcon higher up on the same pinnacle and the tiercel high up on the stonework to the south? face (overlooking the Silk Mill pub), all viewed from the cathedral green.<br /><br />Such a treat to see them all fighting fit and flying high.<br /><br />11:15pm I see the tiercel has taken up his favourite spot on view near the tower cam for the night...Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284500199021475114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-45237505988229172142010-06-16T22:17:48.606+01:002010-06-16T22:17:48.606+01:00The picture is superb, pleased its gone but now ho...The picture is superb, pleased its gone but now hope they will get along ok. there's one high up as I just looked but cannot make out whether ists an adult or juvenile.<br /><br />thanks so much to the TEAMJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891653350017964582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-6219345985508738002010-06-16T20:36:36.891+01:002010-06-16T20:36:36.891+01:00i am gutted i havent had the oppourtunity to come ...i am gutted i havent had the oppourtunity to come down and see them properly does anybody know how long they will hang around the scrape for ? as i would like to come down next month but i am just wondering if it will be worth it i saw them 3 years ok when i come down and it was fascinating to see thm coming back with food. thanks tem for all your work ! and i am soooo glad that all has been ok in the fledgingkatienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-62298641417217188932010-06-16T20:25:03.648+01:002010-06-16T20:25:03.648+01:00I know I am only repeating many of the comments al...I know I am only repeating many of the comments already posted - but there is something quite poignant about seeing the empty nest box and there will be a gap in my life for a while now! However, it is actually good news of course and now I will have more time to catch up on other jobs whilst wondering how the flying/hunting lessons are progressing. Many thanks to the team and all those who have contributed to the blog to keep us all up to date.

I have spent so much time watching as the eggs were laid, the chicks hatching and growing into beautiful young birds. Then, finally setting off to begin their life in the big wide world. Hopefully soon I will come up to my home city of Derby and see them in real life.<br /><br />Thanks to the team that are responsible for bringing all this to beautiful life for us all. Thanks too for all the comments, photos and videos. <br /><br />This is the first year I have watched this awesome piece of natural history......<br /><br />Feel quite sad now, like they were friends. .....Andrew L - London SW1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-1089286534308973942010-06-16T19:02:53.080+01:002010-06-16T19:02:53.080+01:00Craig - That's OK.

Let us know if anything happens :D<br /><br />I have no idea if any of the team are avid footie fans but if they are, the world cup only comes around every 4 years, so after all their hard work they deserve some kind of break to think about other things. Of course, it's not quite 'over yet' for this year's brood and I envy those of you in Derby who hopefully will enjoy the privilege of seeing the juvies being taught how to fly, stoop and hunt for themselves. Must be a spectacular sight.<br /><br />I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the two successful fledges seem even more priceless after the sad failures of the other two eyases. Anyone who has followed the cams and this blog over the past few weeks must surely feel privileged - from 'oldies' like me to the very fortunate members of Green Class (& other schools), thanks to their enlightened teachers and their use of today's technology for the very best of reasons.<br /><br />Oh, and a little mention for Froona who I believe provided the Derby logo amongst many other important things. She would be delighted to see the two young birds take to the skies.Terry, Herts UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581540633600423284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-15515070045507134862010-06-16T17:56:03.434+01:002010-06-16T17:56:03.434+01:00Many thanks for the new, it's a wonderful sigh...Many thanks for the new, it's a wonderful sight to see come in from work to see an empty nest and then to read that she took off and is easily found safe and sound.<br /><br />I'm sure there is plenty more to come in the following months before they are fully free and independent from their parents.<br /><br /><br />@Terry, Herts...
