Default Peregrine Falcon

This is a great site that we followed last year, a live web cam to a Peregrine Falcon nest. The first egg was layed some time this morning. Last year two birds fledged from the nest.

I've just watched them being fed.
Fascinating.

The camera was suffering technical difficulties over the weekend but it's back now.
Blimey the chicks are growing fast.

For anybody clicking the link and just seeing an empty nest box don't worry.
the image opens with left hand camera as default but the chicks have moved to the other side of the box and can be seen on the right hand camera. One female and three male chicks.
