Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I saw the falcon this morning and it didn't look in a very good mood. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Excellent views. Thanks. On camera 1 what is the building with the round glass front on the left? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not been able to get the link on my iPad, have always had to view the Falcons on a laptop or PC Shirley, but from memory I think you mean the Royal Concert Hall, or across the road it's the big Cinema complex.

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks LizzieM. It is the building over the road so it must be the cinema complex. It is good to see the nest site but I did enjoy doing a bit of people and traffic watching and building spotting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 8.45am. We seem to have two threads discussing the Falcolns. Perhaps could be merged. I have posted on this one, only because I have carried on where I left off? This morning both Falcons were on the nest site, so it looks like we are in business again this year. The one Falcon was trying to nestle down but was having a problem with a fairly large piece of white plastic in the nest. It was breaking it up and trying to move it. It did give up and fly off in the end. Really hoping it manages to remove it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Been perched on that ledge for a few hours now the other one is right @ the end ..... you can just see him/her? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 It looks as though we are getting ready for action. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 You're all so lucky to be able to see the activity up high on the Newton Building ...... I can't get it on my iPad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 #233 Lizzie I have been following the Falcons for the last 3 years on my iPad through an app called Puffin Browser but you should be able to follow them on this link. https://ntufalcons.wordpress.com/ Try it and let me know how you get on.

LizzieM 9,507 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks Dave but when I click on the link it tells me it's downloading but nothing happens. (I've always had that problem on my iPad). I looked at the Puffin Browser app reviews and some of the recent comments have put me off downloading it, with some stating that accounts are getting hacked. I'll wait til I get home and watch on the computer, don't think I'll miss much in the meantime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just paid them a visit, no falcons there but interested to see that a new camera view has been installed, using thermal imagery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I hope the new camera improves. I looked at it at 3am this morning and everything was just a fuzzy blur. Perhaps it just needs a bit of fine tuning. EDIT. I have just had a look and there is one Falcon just sitting on the ledge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just had a peek. One falcon very busy cleaning up the nest site. In fact on closer inspection it looks like she is building a nest around herself, picking up the stones and moving them around. Wonder if we shall be seeing some eggs soon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I was watching about 15mins earlier and at that stage; one was doing as you described and the other was sat watching. I missed my chance to catch them both on a pic, but it looks as if the action is hotting up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 A lot of Snuggling down going on this morning. Both Falcons were here and after the one had finished moving the "Shingle" around and then flew off; the other one took over. Every morning they both visit the nest and do a bit of preparing. Can't be long now? [/url]">http:// 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Lots of scratching about today, with a very interested partner watching the action. Still no egg yet? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Sometime between 1am and 7am 14.3 2016, the first egg was laid. Not a very interesting pic but I didn't want to risk missing the moment for all of our Falcon watchers. The next week(Egg Count) should be interesting. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 It was there around three this morning...I spotted it on the new heat camera. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I last looked around 1am, afraid I can't fathom the new camera 3, it all looks just a blur through my eyes. I watch the Florida Eagles through the night on the Infrared Camera with no problem, but not on the Falcons. I really wish I had watched a bit longer, the vision is quite good in the night on Camera 2, which is directed straight at the nest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The new camera does show heat spots,but whether the camera itself is working correctly I've no idea.I did expect something different when they announced it. Anyway....Egg one 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sometime between 9.45am and 12.30pm, 16.3.2016, we have egg no2. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks for this Carni. At Clumber we have very poor wifi and no mobile service so as we are home for the weekend it's great to catch up on the falcons progress. I just had a peek at the nest but Mum (or Dad) is snuggling the eggs so I couldn't see what was there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 At the moment I am trying to catch the egg laying times or at least as close as possible. I think the next one should be due anytime now; possibly during the night. I will have my last look at about 11pm and again about 7am, but if anyone else is keeping an eye on the action, we might get an early picture. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Sometime between Midnight and Morning 19.3.16, we have egg no3. It has taken me since 7am to get this Picture. I know the image of 3eggs isn't allthat exciting to look at so I have added some Falcon facts for you to read. I hope you enjoy the information. http://www.ntu.ac.uk/sustainability/biodiversity/falcons/falcon_facts/index.html 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Just had a peek before coming on Nottstalgia and Mama obliged by getting up and letting me see her new addition 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
