Brighton Sussex Heights: hatching



There was a considerable amount of noise and activity this morning around the top of the building as a third peregrine made its presence felt. All three birds were heard to be calling out and while the male stayed on the eggs the female escorted the intruder away.

Biologiste have detected delicate noises coming from one or more of the eggs today and as can be seen from teh pic a "pip" (or break) in the egg has now appeared in the top of the egg on the right which the female appears to be staring intently at.

So hatching is on teh way. Tomorrow morning there will probably be a hatchling in teh nestbox.
