It's nice to see none have become dinner yet. Fingers crossed.

I see one of the chicks is trying to feed itself, got a tasty morsel he,s? trying to rip up........

now trying wing strokes........

Given the phrase,
" You are, what you eat"

do you think these falcons are really just big pigeons?

where are the other two chicks ?
Panic over they were just having a walkabout :-D

Have you noticed that all 4 chicks have been ringed?

When I looked in early yesterday morning I didn't notice any rings........but by late morning I noticed that they had.

Yes Prickolls. I noticed the chicks are wearing a bit of bling today.

I also saw one had hopped outside the nest box and the others were looking quite shocked by this :-D

They're growing fast and getting quite handsome now. I'm pleased all 4 have made it this far and hope they all fledge.

Watching all the chicks out of the nest and on the ledge is making me feel quite sick.

They are so bleddy clumsy. :-0 :-0 :-0

There are some cameras on motorways high up on poles that at times look like a falcon, in silhouette.........

Twice this morning someone has been remotely controlling camera 1.. Earlier I thought a bird had landed on the camera as it was moving around, but it changed direction and looked at the other end of the ledge. Just a moment ago it went to a close-up of the chicks for a few minutes. There is little of the downy feathers left now. Perhaps they will be flying soon?

not quite yet, methinks a few more pigeon supremes are on the menu...........

Must nearly be time for them to fly, takes about 6 weeks according to the Falcon facts. Camera zoomed around a little while ago. Only 1 to be seen & it went along the ledge and around the corner. What lovely time wasters :-)

Classy take aways you have now in the UK :-)

Sure they have gorn not seen them for days now :-( :-(
Now what am i going to watch ?

I spotted one falcon yesterday evening and there is one on the ledge at the moment. Don't know if it is an adult or one of the chicks.

Edit: Three of them on the ledge at 2 pm.

did you notice?

they were featured on Countryfile this evening........
