4 eggs hatched...

In 1989 a pair of the then very rare peregrine falcons started to breed on the Mill Tower at Darwen

Yep Jaysay one of the adults keeps looking into the camera, they must be able to tell it's their perhaps as they are highly tuned to their surroundings perhaps they can tell that there is a strange object looking at em!

ha ha ha - they'd be scared - I imagine what would happen if when the adult was in and you could put your hand into the nest - you reckon you'd lose some fingers?:eek:

What site you put in on? I don't mind - it's already on the RSPB Site

The camera is all misted up today - did it rain earlier, must have. Yeh I think there are two rings in there and these are from pigeons, probably racing pigeons, I don't think that the adult falcons are ringed.

It's just a chat site I am on Kestrel ... but I think some of the members have enjoyed it.

Has been 'misted up' for 24 hours .... can't make my mind up what it is ... shame .. they were getting cuter.

Had to laugh a couple of days ago though .. one of the chicks had its bum facing the camera .. yes, it did !! Projectile that splashed the lens... LOL.

I thought the mother was ringed actually ?

Mind you, have problems with the ducks when they are next to my patio window and flap their wings.
