A very happy New Year to the lovely peregrines as well as Cilla and Scott! Diamond is on the ledge:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Still can't get the live stream.
Very iffy Clare ... Just managed to bring up nestcam but was freezing every few seconds, refreshing made it disappear again!

Managed to snatch this footage ... timeline shows how it 'hangs' briefly every few seconds, no wonder there are frequent big jumps to catch up!
YESSSSSS! Got the stream and there's a feed in progress:
All done:
I'm just going to start scrolling thru whatever I've got this UK day, and realised I haven't posted the last lot here - sorry!
(Such as it was!)
This first one may be a dupe.

Great vids thanks Scylla though did not like that behaviour in the last one! Unusual here, thank goodness, only witnessed once before at Exeter a couple of years ago between that pair but food had been a bit scarce!!

I thought that too, Wendy. I didn't get very far with scroll-thru before falling asleep, but the several hours I did seemed to be nearly all "waiting on the ledge", so I hope food supply is OK.
I think this was Xav a few minutes ago, don't know how it panned out yet.
Am in such a muddle, was about to post some 10th snaps saying they were today :(
Ins and outs this morning:
There obviously was an early feed that I didn't get:
Chicks must have been satisfied as they were flat out for a long time :)
1320hr FEED
Xavier didn't do a very good job of preparing the meal, IMHO, then Diamond brought some more food and the stream froze >:( One chick had quite a battle with bones.

It's not as easy as it looks!
He had hardly plucked it:
Two little chicks tussling over a bone, one "won" (but may have regretted it):
Thank goodness relief arrived:
I'm outta here!
Didn't get the feed after this prey-drop/handover:
Another prey-drop!
