Finally a lucky break with peregrine mum heading away for a lengthy period mid-afternoon and a chance to get in to the roost and clean both windows. The not-so-little chicks were intrigued with the monster dressed in white mask and blue gloves but soon forgot when dad arrived with a late lunch. They’re all eating furiously and now stand approx 17-18cm (7 inches). Pretty good photos were snapped using a handheld digital SLR along with great lengthy video with sound, and the resulting two videos can be viewed here (audio) and here ….

Note: for anyone wanting to view the collection of videos that we’ve made available online over the course of this 2.5 year project (so far) you can go to http://www.youtube.com and search on “peregrine falcon Orange”; this will provide all our videos (and some bogus ones that have somehow made the same list!).
