After a hectic and exciting day yesterday, today was a quiet one. Apparently the flight did not invite our youngsyer to try it again today. He stayed put in the nestbox. I really thought he would take off first thing this morning, but no. I got up real early to watch, but he was sleeping, and kept sleeping. So I put the pics on autocapture and went back to bed.
Nick Brown reports at 11:41:
At 8 am this morning the one youngster that was under the tray had flown off and landed on a roof opposite the front of the cathedral, ie round the opposite side from the nest. The falcon flew over it several times dangling prey and presumably encouraging it to get back on the tower. This it did and when I left it was perching happily it seemed right near the top of the tower on the south side.
