I wonder if.... in addition to TPCs platform to prevent the chicks sitting in water, a little 6 inch barrier could be put up on the north side of the ledge to prevent the wind blowing them off the ledge? I remember a couple of close calls last year with the wind. ???.....I know they can't build a whole nestbox there but couple of minor renovations would definitely help out. :D
Liz:
I'm going to think a bit more positively about this. Last year was an anomaly. There have been plenty of successful fledges from that side of the hotel. Trey is one! Yes, it's not as great; but I am not going to sit on pins and needles all spring. Let's just relax and enjoy this! :D
allikat:
Well...as quoted, "birds will be birds". I was upset to learn that they decided to nest on that darn nestledge.
Let's all think positive thoughts that this year will be a great one for this pair. They are great parents and we will all watch faithfully. Perhaps with TPC's idea of a better nestbed for the ledge, will make us all rest a little easier, but probably not. ::)
I'll be glued to the weather stations and to the computer screen...it's going to be great year!
Pam:
Very quiet day of incubation from the eastern viewpoint. We were pretty sure that's what was happening yesterday, birds will be birds!

Ahhh - I can just imagine ........ :o.....SO the description given by TPC today on the 'West End' thread .....about sometimes wanting to 'Wring their bloody necks' despite the perigrines being her labour of love........probably would apply to this exact situation! :-\....I'm still having a problem accepting P&T's decision, I REALLY believed they would choose the WEST NEST this year..... :( Course there's not much choice but to accept it - just means we have to live with the fretting that every rain storm, and every gale force windy day will bring this summer. What doesn't drive us around the bend will only make us stronger.. :P
