I have that one too Jaysay.

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

I am dead lucky. Have watched peregrines nesting for years sit on the porch with the scope, just been watching, nice to know you are bird lovers.

Hi kikine I live near these falcons on the web cam, I can't see them from my window but can from the walkway outside my flat - are you in Accrington? I know there are peregrines on most suitable cliffs in that area: Clitheroe and Burnley etc.

I didn't look at the web cam yesterday but today the chicks are getting more adventerous and have gone down the far end, they are still very cuddly little things at the moment

Hi kestrelx, no not in Accy, live in the forest down south, the perergrines here haven't ventured out yet but will keep you posted.

kestrelx · 07-06-2010, 19:18

Hi Kikine, do you mean the young havn't left the nest yet?

Here is a photo I took of where the web cam/nest is on the building.

kikine · 07-06-2010, 19:28

Thanks for photo. All has been quiet for a couple of days, no activity that have seen. Am sure all will be fine they are so high up will try to send photo of where they are but am new to this technology

All settled down for the night .. mother doing her best to get a bit of shuteye.. about 20 seconds then open again.

Looks like it is raining down your way... few drops coming through.

It was raining yes and this week is pretty cloudy, grey and wet but that nest is well protected this year in London a lot of other peregrines have been washed out by rain we had one night back in April. It's good when the birds dive down really fast and go after something as they do!

Peregrine Falcons successfully leave the nest

I managed to get a video of one of them as it came down to just above ground level...

The storks are still in the nest but only 2 of the 4 chicks have learned to fly.

Cheers nice footage there...

Also had a pair of Kestrels raise 2 chicks on a factory near me...this young bird landed upstairs and was really tame, till it learns that all people are kind to wildlife...

and on the day they first came out the hole...
