Again just like yesterday a beautiful day with a lot of wonderful pictures. They can all enter the competition for Britain's Next Top Model.
The puddingcam in the sun makes absolutely great shots: thank you Project Team.
What happened today. Most remarkable is that the scrape was occupied by one of the juvies. He entered this morning with a preyitem. After breakfast he fell asleep. He's been there practically all day and left in the evening.
On top I have seen 3 at the time, while number 4 was in the scrape, so all 4 are accounted for. They have this hidingplace behind the pilar on top, so quite often you don't see more than a tip of a wing.
I think 2 of them can handle a prey item by themselves now: plucking is skill that has to be learned and 2 do manage very well.
And the rest of the day: sleeping, preening, a little flying and just enjoying the gift of life, living in The Dales.
Most juvies stick around for 8-12 weeks, so there will be a lot to enjoy.
On the Derbypage you can read about a fifth falcon in Derby, sitting on a roof, for days now ;) Follow this link:
