There was some vigorous wing flapping and plenty of preening taking place. One of the youngsters remained perched on the edge of the platform for some time giving us good views through the telescopes below. Both of the adult birds stayed on the hotel lettering for a while, until the male bird tucked himself away in a more sheltered spot on the cathedral tower! Some of the children and parents from Leys Junior school in Alfreton braved the weather to come and watch the birds after learning about them in class - hopefully it was a great experience for them to see the birds for real!

Nick M has been struggling up the tower for the last two hours on his knees trying to identify where the problem lies (he's just got home to a very late lunch at 3pm!).<br />It seems probable that the problem lies with a router which can only be changed by Serco, the company that manages the city council's IT. So the next problem is will the contractors working inside the cathedral next week allow anyone from Serco to access the tower to have a look when the cathedral is officially totally out of bounds all week?<br />We'll keep you posted.<br />Of course there are 100's of web cams on bird nests all over the globe that you can watch while the Derby cameras are playing up. Go to www.viewbirds.com to find links to lots of them - ospreys, other peregrines, black and also white storks and loads more.<br />Nick BNick Brown (DWT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-88917501131761527912015-06-13T15:03:27.606+01:002015-06-13T15:03:27.606+01:00Don't worry, the Cams will be up and running e...Don't worry, the Cams will be up and running eventually and compared to many other live feeds, we have a wonderful front row seat. Don't be disheartened as this is just a small hitch, presently beyond the teams control and due to unusual circumstances. Once the chicks leave the nest they will still be seen regularly, so stick with it, because there is so much yet to watch. The young fledglings will continue to visit the scrape and tower cam views for a long time after they become airborne so do keep tuning in, you won't be disappointed !<br /><br />To this end, I've donated an extra dollop this year, to assist funding of the projects renowned team effort. Nothing makes them happier than to know we are happy, and they go to great lengths to ensure this. It's vital we support the volunteered skills that bring this wonderful experience into our homes. Consider the cost of a tasty weekend "take away" treat, then consider how a similar cost, donated, will "take away" your breath for many weeks to come! ............ and it won't repeat on you either !!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318770820387442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-6748910451146405522015-06-13T14:06:03.172+01:002015-06-13T14:06:03.172+01:00Hi Rachel: Nick M is in the tower right now trying...Hi Rachel: Nick M is in the tower right now trying hard to fix things....but whether the problems can be fixed by him or not remains to be seen.

Just one of those things. Sure it will be sorted asap. Negative comments are not conducive to anyone's enjoyment of our beautiful birds who incidentally look a bit bedraggled this am in the rain. I'm sure that any help 'Anonymous' who I am sure has previously stated has skills in this area could offer would be more helpful than leaving negative comments. But back to the chicks, the sky is looking a bit lighter hopefully the sun will be out later and they'll dry out. I cant believe how big they've grown. I was going down to the watch but it's throwing it down so presume its cancelled. Always look when I drive past. And Abby as you said, they are a very different bunch from last years chicks.
