Day 20 - feet almost as big as Mum's | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The Chichester cathedral nest appears to have a smallish roof but the Nottingham Trent University one has no roof at all and there is only one chick left now after the bad weather of a couple of weeks ago when the brooding parent got absolutely drenched while sitting. Very sad but the remaining chick is doing well.
This falcon watching is quite addictive! |
They should show a distance photo of the building and where the nest box is, to give us perspective. I've never been to the Nottingham one before - if it's not well protected why don't they move it, or put a roof on the box or something? Do you know how many chicks got lost this year through the weather?
