.... 23 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Apologies if this has been done before. The webcams on the link below follow the activities of the falcon nesting at the top of the Newton Building at the university in the centre of town. It's fantastic stuff. I do believe Peregrines are my favourite of all creatures. I'm watching one sitting on a ledge right now, starring on camera one. http://www.ntu.ac.uk/ecoweb/biodiversity/falcons/index.html?campaignid=falcons 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yup , it's a fantastic bird to see. I've been watching this camera for a few weeks (Radfordred posted a link in the "Twitchers" thread last year and again in the "Birds" thread from earlier this year.

Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Strangely compulsive viewing. Not much happens for a long time - but you keep watching just in case something does Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I can think of an occasion or two in the past when I've been working or studying in that building that I've felt like going out on that ledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 On the Newton building in Nott'm City Centre :- http://www.ntu.ac.uk/ecoweb/biodiversity/falcons/index.html I've been monitoring this site on and off for over a month, I gave up last week, thinking that they not going to return this year as it was rather late, I just stuck my nose in out of curiosity more than anything and POW there they were, one on the nest and looking like it's laid already , the other was perched down the wall a bit. Fantastic sight !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've just checked our birds to see how they are doing in this awful weather and I haven't seen any movement, apart from the wind ruffling her feathers. I do hope she's ok.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
