There has been a female on the roof for a couple of months now (possibly more than one female). The usual antics have been taking place but without the YouTube feed it has been hard to see what the status has been. I identified a scrape in the tray at the start of February and closed off the roof. The College IT department have been working to overcome some technical issues and have managed to get the problems sorted this week. A big thank you to them!
Unfortunately there are no eggs so far, but that's not for want of effort on the part of the male. He has spent a lot of time trying to lure the female into the box, but she won't play ball. Othe pocal pairs have several eggs already, but as there is still a female here, I haven't given up hope. Indeed, there was a third Peregrine flying above the roof while I had a visual on the female on the ledge and the male in the nest box (via the YouTube feed). That might be the fly in the ointment.

There is life there ... just not in right place!!!
Mind you, this was all I could find on rewind ... not good!
Not Peregrines, just light relief whilst we wait for more eggs!
Bit of Peregrine this time from parapet cam ... is this the female?
Apart from a snippet of Rook visitor on other cam, this was all the action I could find!
Was just going to post a query?of where are these birds, when on end CHOL:):)
That egg looks well & truly abandoned ... not a great deal of action on other cams either although haven't had as much time as hoped to scroll back, what's gone wrong MC?
Are you feeling any better?
