All was very relaxed not long to go now, and the RSPB will be in Cloisters cafe in the morning, with live pictures of the nest. Here’s a little preview picture taken this am, and all is fine and dandy!! Janet and I will be over taking pictures this evening.

A couple of pictures from this evening.

There are now live pictures from the nest - just follow the link on Chichester peregrines’ Home page and enjoy!

What another beautiful day.  We saw Mum and Dad (there was a change over at the nest)  both looking well fed and very relaxed in spite of three buzzards circling to the south west of them for a while.  Sources told us that she had spent 15 minutes turning her eggs and we are all looking forward to seeing them next weekend on the TV in Cloisters Cafe.

What beautiful weather.  The skies were clear and not an aeroplane in sight - well only one little one looping the loop!!  Both Mum and Dad were on nest duty and enjoying the sunshine alternately.  Breakfast was a nice plump wood pigeon from the larder.  A couple of visits by buzzards didn’t bother them the second one was seen off by some irate seagulls.  Peace reigned.  Thanks to David who was watching from 8.00 am and able to fill us in on breakfast. What a wonderful day!!

Sunday 11th - what a beautiful day! At one point there were over 50 people standing with us watching.  First a sparrowhawk then a buzzard came to investigate - Dad soon sent them packing.Peace was restored and we were treated to a nest changeover so we could see Mum as she had a wash and brush-up and went for a bit of excercise.

Just to confirm there are 4 eggs and they will hatch about the 26 th april just after the RSPB arive on the 24 t h.

As far as we are aware there are 4 eggs and all is well he being the dutiful  Dad while Mum sits on the eggs.No more to report will update in a week or sooner if any news.
