Nipped down to the Cathedral this evening. At about 6.30pm the tiercel left, I presumed to hunt after a short foray he returned empty handed, he popped down to the nest ledge, and the falcon left, and she sat on the Old Police station for a brief moment, before she shot off towards the river. I then was distracted and kept busy answering a few questions to several interested parties. I then noticed the tiercel at the top of the Cathedral, and assumed the falcon was back with the chicks (wrrong). I was again distracted but just caught the falcon coming in with prey around 7.00pm. She landed below the nest ledge, the tiercel left the top of the tower and joined her, took the food? she then returned to the chicks and the tiercel started to took in, after a while he went up top to finish his meal. He then took the rest to the Tray. I would be interested in what the tiercel did in the tray, while the falcon was off hunting and how long the chicks where left alone. My times are approximate, can any body fill in the gaps??? please.
I think that Nick-M was in the tower shortly afterwards, because he was busy changing the zoom. (unless he can do it remotely). Unluckily, I was visiting the Out-laws!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Colin. My webcam view is stubbornly resisting attempts to refresh more than once every 25 minutes, so I'm afraid I'm missing quite a bit of the action too.
ReplyDeleteToday I've resorted to the Streamdays view. Smaller, but at least it refreshes every 5 seconds or so.
Message for Jon Salloway - are you any relative of Mark Salloway (left Littleover School in 1984)? Just curious... :-)
Ruth Z, I do have a brother called Mark but we didn't go to littleover School.
