It's amazing how easy going peregrine falcons really are. With so much constructionwork going on nearby, they don't seem to care at all. Of course high up the Cathedral is their perch and it still is.
It's a pity the wonderful images are have these ugly crane's in the background now, but that's the way it is now,
The yungsters are still handsome, beautiful and terrific. They where perching all 3 of them high up, in front of the cam.
Both parents had a romantich early morning rendez-vous at the nestsite. Although I think the tiercel was more romantic than the female was. She stayed for a short while, left and landed a few secons later high up. The male stayed at the nest and enjoyed himself in scraping bowles. He stayed almost all morning at the nest.
The fresh pigeons that where brought in front of the pudcam where grabbed and pulled away from the pigeon delivery service very quickly indeed by one of the youngsters. They do manage themselves now.I actually believe they do fly away with prey items as well. They certainly are growing up fast indeed these 3 top-gun tiercels...
