No signs yet that our peregrines have discovered the new nest box we've built for them. Hoping they're not put off by its "scandi sauna vibe" - as one reviewer described it!

A fresh blog post just dropped about our new nest box and webcam.
(Someone even described it as having "Scandi sauna vibes"!)

Looking up Derby Cathedral tower against a bright blue sky, with a red and a yellow abseil rope running down from the top. POV photo from the abseil.
Two hours dangling on an #abseil rope today.
What a delight to get off and to get some circulation back in my legs.

A man pokes his head up through the base of a large peregrine falcon nest box, with views over a city in the distance.
Today's the last day of National Nestbox Week!
So who's built a nice big one like ours?

#GrokAI-modified image of a man wearing body armour and the label 'NICE', pointing at a peregrine falcon nest platform on the side of Derby Cathedral's ancient stone tower.
OK, so I was tempted to play with #GrokAI again.
Not sure this is really going to do much to positively advertise
#derbyperegrines, but hey-ho!

Oh dear. The #DerbyPeregrines webcams are down. Surely it can't be because of a little bit of snow?
Hope to find out more tomorrow.

A leg of an Arctic Tern bearing a metal ring and set against a plastic ruler for scale.
That's quite the bruiser!
We had one of our #DerbyPeregrines take an Arctic Turn that was ringed in June 2002 on an island off the SW of Sweden, and was caught over our city in 2007.
It had certainly done some mileage!

A gravel-filled wooden nest platform for Peregrine Falcons is seen to be collapsing, with the nave roof of Derby Cathedral visible through the gap.
“Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here.”

I’m not quite sure what you mean, Wendy. You’ve obviously posted it successfully here. You could consider using a hashtag like #Peregrines.
I use #DerbyPeregrines for posts about ours.

Bit of a panic this morning when we heard that one of the #birds we’d rescued a few days ago had died.
Turns out it had a good feed at 7am, then slept it off for an hour, looking all the world like an ex-falcon.
Final #DerbyPeregrines WatchPoint today!

If you’re free on Saturday morning, our last free WatchPoint on Cathedral Green runs from 10-2pm. There should be a fair bit of activity around the tower, often with adults passing food mid/air to the young #DerbyPeregrines.

Two juvenile peregrine falcons on a gravel-filled nest platform. The view looks down upon the nave roof of Derby Cathedral
After teasing us for the last couple of days, the young male #peregrine that got blown off its nest ledge has made it back on its own.
Very good news!

Great news!
After worrying that our young peregrine falcon, which had been blown off in strong winds a few days ago, was dead or dying, today we discovered it alive and well on the roof of nearby buildings.
