Reassuring to see one of our adult falcons still using the Leonardo Hotel, with its clear view across to the Derby Cathedral tower.

Morning view from the newly-relocated #peregrine webcam. It'll also serves as a useful traffic cam for Derby's northern ringroad! Watch them here. derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam... #DerbyPeregrines #DerbyUK #Peregrines #Raptors #Birding

Webcam view from a newly-constructed peregrine falcon nest box on the tower of Derby Cathedral. The view looks out over the old Silk Mill pub, an electrical substation, The Museum of Making, and Cathedral Green.

Today we ran a new cable up the tower of Derby Cathedral, and relocated our spare webcam on the new peregrine nestbox. Needs some tweaking still, but at least it’s working, and giving an alternative view looking outwards. #DerbyPeregrines #HotWork derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam...?

The Rochester NY falcon cams have been instrumental in the recovery of the peregrine falcon since 1995! The Art Deco high rise building ledges simulate the natural ledges peregrines use for scrapes in the wild! The nest box provides shelter from the weather and a safe place for the eggs to hatch.6/8

The tiercel brought food to the female around 7:15 this morning, which she plucked enthusiastically. Still no sign that they’ve found the new nest box yet. derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam...
