Please listen to the AudioBoo recording below. This is another way  to publish to the blog, rather than in written word I tell the story….it's the way ahead,  a great way to publish content to the blog.  

At 40 days, the young Peregrines have now fledged the nest and they begin the next stage of their young lives. It's been a mamoth task by the adults to reproduce this year and they have been involved in nesting activity since March. They are magnificent creatures and equally magnificent parents, intelligent, dilligent and persistent.  Att every step, even with a disasster they have been undaunted and their persistance has paid off in the end. There is still a long way to go.  Now they have the task of teaching the youngsters to hunt for themselves. I am looking forward to watching as much of this as I can. So, please listen to the audio clip below and enjoy.  Photo's of the newly fledged birds to follow.

 

The oldest of the two falcon eyes, (females), now left the nest ledge and on the rock face nearby.

 This is the adult tercel delivering his kill to the young tercel.

The handover takes place.

Having delivered his plucked woodpecker to the young tercel, the adult tercel flies clear of the ledge.
