So we reach Day 49 for Tore today. The fledging window is well and truly open. Will she fledge today? Not that likely but in the next three or four days she might. How did she grow up so quickly?

So much for the bad weather we're supposed to be having, it looks like a very nice day... or am I speaking too soon? ;-D

One elderly man and a young helper know all the peregrines in Northern Ireland, they showed the young from a nest on a cliff-face being ringed - in entailed some very brave abseiling. No mod-cons, just a couple of keen human beings. The peregrine chicks inflicted some nasty scratches with their talons, but it was fascinating to see them frozen awaiting their fate. I was watching the Chichester Cathedral nest for a while - those chicks grew faster than anything I've ever seen :o

I have never really followed peregrines except for one year when I watched ones in Australia. I like their markings. I'll bet the talons on the younguns are sharp!
BTW, the rich formatting seems to be working okay for me right now...

I guess me too! my entire day can just disappear. It is better than any TV show, I say! I must go to bed myself now! :)
Oh well, here are the two Gems earlier waiting for breakfast - they're still waiting.
OK I will try to load a picture . If you don't see it you will know things are not fixed on my end

Isn't is strange how the performance of the site varies from person to person? :o
CC, I don't ever sleep properly.
Here's EJ come in to rearrange that stick. Maybe she knows Odin should be delivering soon.
Not too much complaining yet, either. I would not be surprised if EJ showed up with a fish at this point with the head eaten off.
EJ moving furniture again - barricading the doors so the chicks can't run away yet?
CC: Sleep tight!
