Another day in Derby Town with 3 eager youngsters. Watching the 3 guys, one can see how they keep growing more and more into 3 strong young tiercels. There is a lot to eat,They are not hungry at all. On the first pic series you can see the big fullcrops. When waking up they already had a huge breakfast considering the bloody leftovers on the pluckplace up the pud.
And so the morning passed by with snoozing, a little preening, perching and enjoying the big meal to be digested.
In the afternoon the falcon brought a fresh prey up to th epluckplace. She had to catch her breath: carrying a heavy prey up is something a falcon can do better thatn the much smaller tiercel.
One of the youngsters was there immediately and shared the meal with his mother. Later a second joined in. And then she took the rest away.
Slowly the afternoon glided into the summer evening, with pink skies over the Peak District. Youngsters standing sleeping on their perch. Sleep thight sweeties and wake up healthy in the morning....
