Sometime between yesterday early evening and this morning our second young Peregrine has fledged. We've seen him or her ( most likely him ) sitting with the young bird that fledged earlier this week. So, two down, two to go. The remaining two Peregrines can still be seen quite clearly on the nest ledge, looking like they'll be fledging anyday now really.
Don't worry though, even when these young Peregrines have fledged they're still going to be around for the next few weeks as they develop their flying and hunting skills. Plus, we're still getting great views of the adult Peregrines too.
Elsewhere around Dove Stone it's been another cracking day. The weather's been hot and we've had sightings of Treecreeper, Spotted Flycatcher, Cuckoo, Curlew, Oystercatcher, young Common Sandpiper, Grey Wagtail - adult and young, Redpoll, Sparrowhawk, Chiffchaff, Wheatear and Red Legged Partridge.
More news soon . . .
