We are fairly sure that all the three are probably OK since the parent birds were very relaxed and calm.<br />Glad you saw some swifts near your school. Great birds but sadly declining in numbers.<br /><br />The Project TeamThe Project Teamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-87468071779041711302017-06-21T15:23:51.904+01:002017-06-21T15:23:51.904+01:00we are happy that the Peregrines have fleged.

The small metal BTO ring is placed on the right leg. Unfortunately this year's chicks haven't been ringed because of the essential repairs taking place to the Cathedral roof, making it impossible for anyone abseiling down to land on it. The orange rings are sequential. Here's a link to a previous post with a table, which gives all the ring numbers from previous years. I hope that's useful!<br /><br />http://derbyperegrines.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/forthcoming-events.html<br /><br /><br /><br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256423040507698707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-53985846889279444382017-06-21T10:18:29.072+01:002017-06-21T10:18:29.072+01:00What are the colour and ring numbers for the young...What are the colour and ring numbers for the young peregrines? <br /><br />Do they follow the usual system of colours white characters on orange rings?<br /><br />bird-watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968102815282256883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-28102044602729269712017-06-21T09:28:01.489+01:002017-06-21T09:28:01.489+01:00The young bird on the platform has just been well ...The young bird on the platform has just been well fed by the adult male peregrine.
