9th June: Female chick rescued & returned to roof
This evening we were alerted to the fact that there was a peregrine in a backyard near the foot of Sussex Heights. On inspection it turned out to be the female chick, identified by the ring number 23.
We were able to catch her and return her to the roof of Sussex Heights where our picture shows her. Hopefully this will be the only time in her life when she travels in a lift!!
After being rescued from a back yard on Monday evening on Wednesday ( today) she crash landed on a balcony on the 16th floor of Chartwell Court, a block of flats near to Sussex Heights, but as these pictures show she doesn't seem any the worse for it and later took off back to the roof of Sussex Heights. What an absolutely, stunningly beautiful bird she is.
