Peregrine Chicks

The young Peregrines which are now nearly 6 weeks old and fully feathered spend much of the time away from the nestbox. This is a pity since they are not providing much of an appearance on the webcam. It must be very windy on the roof so hopefully they are sheltering perhaps behind the nestbox or in one of the recesses. They are likely to be doing a lot of wing flapping and exercise to prepare their wing muscles for their first attempts at flying. It is likely that they will fly in the next few days so let's hope the weather is reasonable.
