Is this one of those Whirlies people talk about?? Close??

Do you have any volunteers for fledge watch? It's down to the wire and nothing yet! I'm getting nervous!

To quote Donna: "I need structure!"

Oh, I am going to keep feeding "my" birds too! Just thought this was an interesting piece. I make my own suet cakes in the winter, as I assume these HAVE to be better than the shop ones with a long shelf life and who-knows-what in them. We don't feed much during the summer months - living in the countryside, there is lots for them in the hedgerows. And I also reckon that the birds will eat the critters I do not want on my veggies.

Who sleeps in the falcon world?   Not this family at 4:41 am.

And - as we shall soon see - not MAK!!!

Oh, my lord!! Vertiginous! Feeling dizzy here...

This has been going on for a while. Until they come up with 100% facts, I will continue to feed the birds, until I receive a summons!

Yup.

"Feeding wild birds during the winter could harm the success of any chicks born in the following spring, says new research."

"Peregrine falcon chicks have hatched on the roof of a former nuclear reactor in Essex [UK], two months after their parents decided it was a good place to nest."

Just the next step to fledging.   

Fledging?? Eeeeeeee!

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon... (or is that a "sunny" afternoon??)

05.33 already? Gee, MAK! You are late today...

 

More feathery with each passing day! Hardly seems possible.

All 3 visible in one picture at the same time

They look like "frosted falcons"   Or did it snow??!!   They are getting so big!!

Snow?? Better check with Donna.
