Hidden likely, certainly did seem to be laying a third, I only watched, no recording!

She is leaving him in peace....for now

No posts since 4 April, or have I missed a new thread? Apologies if I have. Last blog was 1 April.
Adult, presumably the female, sitting on egg(s?) and doing a bit of preening at the moment.

Not a great deal to post about Ann, just a waiting game til eggs due for hatch, but there is a new blog regarding the history of the making & installation of this current box ... will try to find the link, hope this is it ... podcasts.apple.com/.../id890403565

Also plenty of updates on Twitter links under cam on main page which you should be able to read!

New blog ... public-api.wordpress.com/.../

Be very interesting to see the outcome of the three 2 egg sites, here plus Exeter & Rochdale!

Just ploughed my way through all the angry responses to this incredulous news ... well, they can't do owt whilst lockdown continues & my suggestion would be for all falconers to pool their resources & arrange to interbreed next season from all the captive stock of birds they currently have as soon as restrictions are lifted, am sure they can manage until next season ... leave our wild & free birds where they belong!

I was appalled when I read about the permission to take Peregrine chicks from nests! Slavery and wife beating used to be 'established traditions' too, but most people now think those behaviours are no longer acceptable as well as being illegal, even though there are still some idiots who think those things are still just fine! The Peregrine thing sounds like we live in the world of 1984 when organisations do the opposite of what they are said to be doing--so-called conservation bodies approving of interfering in the lives of and removing individuals from the gene pool of supposedly-protected species--awful!
