Morning all: Here's to a good week for everyone. Check out latest pages of last week's thread to see great pix by OG of a kestrel on a road sign and a signpost for migrating birds and Gary's photos of the lovable Toffee plus his Toffee-proof technology. Just had dinner and managed to turn perfectly lovely piece of halibut into shoe leather! Hate it when that happens, but was busy watching weather forecast. Desk is looking cleaner - can actually see the surface now. Take care all!
Peregrine on the Zurich cam. This is another fine looking falcon:
First egg for Vergine:

Alan thanks for the captures and news of the first egg. That ine looking peregrine is obviously finding much to eat looking at all the feathers scattered around, looks like pigeon to me.

That is the sort of story I like to read Alan well done to Rhode Island.
I thinks those osprey pics are some of the best I have seen.
Watching the Decorah eagle cam and was lucky enough to see the changeover on the nest. Very windy the female nearly got blown off the nest at one point. Loved the litte conversation that took place.
Thanks Margo. I have just had a look at the Decorah cam. Quite good pictures there. I think there have been a lot of improvements in picture quality this year.
I agree Alan much closer views as well. I wouldn't like to be sitting there in all that wind.
1st egg for San Francisco peregrines. Its all happening today:

Thanks Alan my favourites bar is groaning under the weight now. Will really have to sort it out before the ospreys arrive. Everything happening so fast at the moment.
Afternoon all ALAN loved the pictures of the osprey having its dinner along with all the pictures of the peregrine just hope they all hatch before the ospreys really start to lay.
At 7am this morning everything was bone dry and at 8am everything was very wet with a fairly high wind but now it is quite a pleasant afternoon although still windy. Have been doing some HW today with a dog watching on but he doesn't like the hoover and goes into another room until you switch it off. Yesterday was my day for wrestling with the duvet but managed to get the cover washed and dried outside as it was a nice day.
Going out to lunch tomorrow with SiL and her family who are coming to give Diesel the once over.
Hope everyone keeps well
