As dedicated Peregrine watchers have already noted, at least two of our falcon’s eggs have hatched. The weather is a little bit cool, so the female is spending a lot of time brooding the youngsters to keep them warm. However, activity at the nestbox will increase as there are …
Wow! It took a healthy dose of patience and persistence to finally ascertain a good look at the clutch and determine that it is complete at 4 eggs. The birds seem to have been on the eggs without a break, no doubt this is partially due to the cold weather …
