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.
Another feed per Xavier - uncut! Only one chick appeared to get fed until the very end, when the other might have got a bite.

A much more positive update from the excellent Cilla:
The day's videos - such as they are, having been scraped up from the few "up" times we've had.

This was when the large feathers were first seen - as predicted on FCP, no arrival captured :(
Was it a Rosella?
The chicks seem to be cowering from the flying feathers ;)
Job done:
Look what a fine mess you've left us in!
This mucky-beaked prey-drop in the evening was frozen between 2 blackages, so I've no idea if it was accepted or not :(
Oh yes it was!
These snaps are out of order.
Attention to detail:
Diamond took prey from Xavier:
1m11s
Snaps from this rainy Oz morning. Very little uptime, no prey or feeds seen.
Nest 51s
Ledge 56s (some 'framing' errors in here but I couldn't go back and start again)
Another update from Cilla:
A well-earned credit in there for you, Scylla!
Thanks, Clare :)
Lots of missing bits here, but it includes a visit (no departure), prey-drop, half-hour feed and tidy-up. Only Marragaay seen eating but Bali looks satisfied at the end.
4m26s
Recognise the prey item, anyone?
1500hr prey:
They ate but weren't that hungry, don't know if Diamond finished it off:
1900hr prey:
I think this was Bali getting fed, Marragaay was sated:
Dear Diamond :)
She did end up almost force-feeding Bali:
56s
Lots of long blackages overnight, as to be expected.
The ledge cam came up @ 0613:
Nest cam 0619, showing the chicks being checked on, this is the return to ledge, to show face:
Another little wander:
Prey-drop, only a snack:
There was virtually no activity captured on the nest cam this (Oz) morning besides the huddle in the corner.
This was the first sign of awakeness - gone 2 o'clock in the afternoon !!!
Later each eyas "performed", Marragaay (phew! remembered the name) with a feather and Bali with a walk. (I must have taken 20 freezes out of Marragaay's feather activity, it took blooming ages.)
2m18s
See the pin feathers!
Can you see Bali's tail-end?

Ledge views, 2 prey-drops and some ins 'n outs:
1m52s
EDIT - the first snap is a dupe from my post last night, sorry.
Xav followed Di in but swerved away:
There's been a feed since, am about to fetch it up, hopefully :)
The excellent Cilla managed another update:
