Kingston College Peregrines 2022

Gardenbirder asked if there was a Kingston College Peregrines thread for 2022. There is now. I have had to replace the cameras. The new ones offer a slightly wider shot of each view. I did not replace camera 3 as it would have caused too much disruption. Camera 2 is the key one as it is on the nest box. The Falcon returned in September, which is very early. Both birds were perching near to one another immediately and she has spent much time excavating the pea shingle. There has been a lot of bonding activity, which I have shared on the @KPeregrines twitter feed.

There is a lot of redevelopment work going on at the front of the college and I just hope that it doesn't affect the Peregrines. The cameras were off for about a month, so I missed out on a lot of possible sightings. I have seen both birds together as recently as this week, so fingers crossed.

These are the links for the two YouTube feeds:
