Not much action today. The weather was bad and the youngsters did not show themselves very much. Neither on teh pud nor the nestbox
So it was not until late in the afternoon before one of the parents landed with a big pigeon an started plucking. The prey wa sleft for a hungry youngster.
And so the afternoon became the evening and made this gay glide away. Hope tomorrow the sun will appear again, because with it the youngsters will!
They still need the parents to hunt for them.
The first Derby juvenile fledged on June 11, so it is only 4 weeks. They do have to learn a lot and will stay at least for another 4 weeks around the cathedral. Most juveniles wander off between 8-12 weeks after fledging. So there still will be a lot to watch!
