Derby Peregrines

Stunning. Was an avid watcher last year (thanks to you flagging it up, Wals) and will be keen to see if all four hatch okay this year. It's always such a drama - will the egg hatch/will the hatchling be too small/will it survive, etc., etc.! Saw the Mum bring the chicks the remains of a small bird the other afternoon - fed them sparingly, then took off clutching the headless corpse. I have this attractive vision of someone having a quick extra-skinny latte in the nearby park, having the offering dropped from above...
 
Thought I'd replied to this last night, but obviously forgot to press the button. According to the diary there are 4 little beaks there now.
