carni 10,094 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Re #75. The Berry Eagles. At 8.30pm our time, I checked the Eagles again, and one of the chicks has finally hatched. Damn. I look in every hour and just because we had to go out, I missed it. 1 down and 1 to go. I don't know when it happened as every time I look, a parent is usually sitting on the eggs. Nothing to see on the Nottingham Falcons yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've just looked and the nest is empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 At 2.17pm today. There are Two Falcons on the ledge in the nest area. Must be House Hunting? 2.30pm and there is definately a nest being made ready? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I keep missing this, all I have seen is the empty nest...word to self "Must be more vigilant" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 At the moment I am following The Florida Eagles with one babe that is not far off fledging and also Berry College Eagles that have just hatched two Chicks. (Both of these links kindly passed on by Poohbear) If you want the Links you will find them on our Nottingham Falcons Thread. I see our Falcons more often than most people because I am in and out of the live videos throughout the day and night! darkazana, it really is pot luck at the moment as to catching them on the ledge. They can be there one second and gone the next. Last years Falcons was my first experience of watching Wild Birds and I absolutely love it. If i'm not on Nottstalgia, you can bet I,m on one of the three live Eagle and Falcon links. Sometimes sad, some times funny, sometimes hair raising but always fascinating.

carni 10,094 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I forgot to add the post number for the Links they are #70 and #75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Both falcons are at the nest right now........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I have been trying to get a photo, but when I right click, I don't get the option? If I copy the address and add the Link, because it is live, the birds more often than not, fly away!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 A falcon has just arrived at the nest. yipppeee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks Michael, just had a look ...... this is the first time I've seen a bird there this year. That's it, I won't get ANYTHING done now, what with Falcons and Nottstalgia!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's my first time as well. I'm supposed to be doing some work in the loft today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 If you fancy making a pig of yourself try the Berry Eagles site.I took this a few minutes ago. http://www.berry.edu/eaglecam/ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Both Falcons at the nest now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Both on the ledge at the moment. One just flew in as I logged on to the page. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 6.08am your time and a single Falcon has landed on the ledge and seems quite vocal, the way the beak is opening and closing, together with the looking around as though it is searching for its' mate. Does not seem like a year ago since we were watching them breed and raise their young.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes Trevor, you are probable right about searching for it's mate. 7.22am and there is one in the nest and one by it's side on the ledge. The one in the nest is standing very still, could it be egg laying? Nope, It's just moved off. Haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wonder if there might be eggs there soon, going by her behaviour at the moment on the nest. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I first saw the objects at least 1or 2 weeks ago and it baffled me as well! I thought it was a reflection of some kind ( similar to oil and water). Or could it be something that had been eaten by a bird or animal and stayed in its stomach, until it was captured and eaten by the Falcons, who then discarded it?

darkazana 1,736 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 When I saw the falcons today one of them appeared to be eating something, so it could well be the remains of a kill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 One of the Falcons has been in and out of the nest all morning. It is there at the moment and has been scratching about for a while. I think breakfast is just out of view, hidden behind the front wall of the box. The bottom object circled in #97 is not reflecting the light at the moment, it will be interesting to discover what it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Pity they don't make a warm nest like the eagles...just a scrape in a few pebbles cant be much fun for chicks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nice picture Poohbear. We were just watching and saying what a great photo it would be. Both Eagles and a chick trying to prize itself out from under Dad (I think). There's a nice view of the chicks being fed at the moment!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 That's not a nest, it's an eyrie Great photo though. I love watching birds of prey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 They do make a cracking picture... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
