    For some reason the YouTube feeds are all down at present. Hopefully it is a YouTube issue and new links will be sent out to subscribers. I have informed IT, but as it is Sunday I don't imagine they will see that until tomorrow. There isn't a whole lot to see on camera 2 in any case. Cams 1 and 3 do have some activity, but not as much as before the youngsters fledged.

    I hope the bird you took to Andover is ok, Paul, or if all is not well that the vet can do something for him. That vet is very experienced and your Peregrine could not be in better hands. Mr GB says that he will ask the manager at the Hawk Conservancy Trust hospital about your Peregrine tomorrow since he is there all day. Presumably you'll hear something tomorrow if you haven't already, but if we learn anything we will get in touch in the evening or before then if I hear anything during the day.
    There seems to be a lot of drama with birds and nests this year or is this usual?! In addition to dramas at several Peregrine nests there are at least 4 well known Osprey nests which have had (and are still having) dramas and tragedies. One nest lost all three chicks because the male experienced an injury and could not supply food. The staff and volunteers there have supplied fish but were not able to do that for a couple of days, coincidentally when the chicks had newly hatched and the younger ones had no food for those days and the older chick had eaten for a day or two but all could not survive not getting any for a short time when they were very tiny. Another nest lost one chick by one parent accidentally standing on its neck. That nest now has a piece of netting on it (possibly a bag for vegies of some sort) which was brought in presumably as bedding. A disaster might happen there at any moment.

    Kind regards, Ann

    Don't know if you've had any news, Paul, but the report this morning from Mr GB's chat in the hospital was that the Peregrine has an infection and is being treated with antibiotics. The head of the HCT hospital, Cedric, plans to take the bird back to the vet tomorrow for a check-up and it remains to be seen what happens next. Although there is not yet a prognosis, the best news is that the Peregrine has a good appetite--a good sign, at least for the present.

    Kind regards, Ann

    Paul, Mr GB is again at the HCT today and he said that the "peregrine is looking much better this morning and standing normally on its perch." Not sure if Mr GB had a chance to chat with Cedric or if that was a personal observation.

    Kind regards, Ann

    I'm going to be speaking with Cedric later today. Hopefully he will have positive feedback for me.

    Paul, I've just had an e-mail from Mr GB. He is apologetic and says there are two Peregrines in that hospital bay and he was looking at the wrong one this morning--sorry. Your bird is still eating well but the vet has not yet given Cedric any clear description of your bird's problem and we cannot know what may happen next. The note to me was very brief (lunch time, I expect) so I was not told if your bird had been to the vet yesterday or not. I hope there will be more news this afternoon, but I probably will not hear anything more until after 6 pm when Mr GB gets home. I hope we can get another update later on Friday since we are both going there for an event and will see Cedric again then, with any luck.

    Edit:  Hope you see this before speaking with Cedric!

    Kind regards, Ann

    As some of you may recall, I decided to engage the renowned taxidermist Derek Frampton to work his magic on the body of the unfortunate P3S who was put to sleep a few months back. P3S had damaged both feet as a result of what we believe was likely a collision with a building. Having completed the relevant paperwork P3S was sent to Derek in the middle of July and this evening he drove down from Kings Langley to return P3S to me. All I can say is that the results are awesome! There is a local company that makes bespoke display cases, so I will be getting one soon. Here are two photos of P3S. He looks as stunning now as he did in life.
