Gibbo 04 188 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've had the thread running in the background all morning and just had a peek when I heard a lot of activity. There are definitely four eggs carni....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Has anybody seen both birds together over the last 48 hours?? The reason I ask is that the wife and I switch on the website at various times day and night and have not seen both birds together since the weekend. What concerns us is that in daylight, there is a dark pile or shape at the end of the ledge, too far to make out but is about the size of a Falcon and has been in that position for a couple of days now. Somebody please advise that they have seen both birds in the last few hours........................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I look at the site on and off all day. Late last night being the last time. It has been a few days since I caught them together, but I just put it down to bad timing? There has been a pile of something at the end of the ledge all through the winter, but I see what you mean. The dark shape is new to me. Though it could be a trick of the light? I hope all is well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I am pleased to say at his moment there is one on the nest and another at the side on the ledge. Wonderful.9.45am I am sorry but I don't know how to take a still image of the event, only live ones and the birds usually fly off! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks carni....the wife was watching and saw the second Falcon at just gone 10.00am your time...looked a little bedraggled but it is there. I might get some peace now............ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yes I watched this morning as one flew off and another flew in to take over nursery duties. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have just had the pleasure of watching a change over on the nest at 8.14am, and pleased to say all looks well, I spotted all four eggs in tact. If I remember correctly the fourth egg was spotted around the 21st March, so are we over half way (approx 18days,10-14 days to go) in the incubation period? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Another nice change over of Falcons at 7.54am. I'm getting used to reading the signs from the one on the nest now, indicating when a change over is due. Getting Close now? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have just had a really good view of the four eggs, and cannot see any pipping or fine cracks yet? Approx 30days now. It can't be long now. The bird on the nest was very restless, might just be hungry after a long night, egg sitting? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just seen one wonderful little Eyas peeping out from beneath the front of Mam/Dad. Could be more? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Lovely. Thought it might be today. Soooo restless this morning, parent bird kept shuffling the eggs around and really couldn't seem to settle. Sadly we had to go out today, we were on a mission so this is us now back and checking in and yet again I've missed the highlights!!! Can't wait to see if I can get a peek tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 At this moment the Parent has just flown off. We have two "Eyasses" and two pipped eggs. Wonderful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Very clear view of two chicks at the moment, parents not on nest 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 If you missed the last feed at the time on Gibbo's post, you can see another feed at this moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Four babies having their breakfast at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The funniest sight just now. One parent bird on the nest, second parent bird flew in and sidled up to its mate. They then seemed to be having a conversation which probably went something like "Well you took your time" "Sorry darling but you know what Friday night traffic is like....any way what do you fancy for tea?" "I wouldn't mind a night out after all this nesting lark, still they're all asleep now so how about a nice bit of pigeon?" "Ok. I'll just nip out and get it, before the kids wake up. See you in a bit".......exit second parent bird again!!!! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I just watched all of that darkazana, wasn't it brilliant. There was a lovely scene to follow, with the parent feeding all four little beauties. It makes you wonder how they can fit all of those eyasses underneath, without squashing them? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well they certainly can't now!!! Parent bird really struggling with both wings spread out now to protect their brood, who are all peeping out at the front!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Brilliant view of the chicks having tea at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
