The Nottingham pair raised four chicks this year. As far as I know, they all fledged successfully. This is one of the nests where the juvies don't usually return to the ledge after fledging. The parents, who were not much in view for a while, have now begun making more frequent visits to the nest.

This morning:

Once again this year, the Nottingham pair raised four chicks, all of whom fledged successfully as far as I know.

I see at least one of the parents from time to time, sometimes both, but frequently they are at the far end of the ledge.

Early this morning (middle of the day over there) I found both of them in the nest. They are a beautiful pair:

Very tough conditions at the Nottingham nest last evening and during the night. It began to snow heavily, and the wind was blowing. The female looked as if she was ready to lay her first egg.





Conditions grew worse, and the falcon left the nest box as the snow continued.

Later, the falcon returned to the nest:



In the early morning hours, in the cold and snow and wind, she could wait no longer to lay her egg. If she had been provided with a full nest box, she would at least have had some shelter from these truly adverse conditions.







I do not understand the mentality which exists at many sites which continue to provide only a bare bones nest tray for peregrines. There are many such sites in Britain, quite a few in Canada, and also some in the U.S. These trays are totally inadequate. They provide absolutely no protection from the elements for the birds, their eggs and their chicks. They also provide no protection from potential predators.

Some think they need to have natural breeding grounds, like cliffs but this year seems to be a bit early for some falcons, laying eggs so early. Nottingham flooded one year didn't it and the chicks died? I agree, it's time for a new covered nest! Poor girl, feel so bad and if she leaves, the egg will probably freeze.
Remember Hartford's Amelia......she was covered, I mean covered in snow and she was on eggs but they hatched, so miracles do happen! Praying!!
