Tower Nest - 2012 / ? & ?
allikat:
Great spottin' RCF!!!
Guess we all have to be prepared and accept that the birds are on the move... until next year!
RCF:
I checked this evening and there is still one falcon at the tower. The light was already fading at 7:15pm (sigh) but I am pretty sure it was the female I saw.
RCF:
We only saw the one falcon today, we are pretty sure it was the female because of the colour on her front. She was out of the wind on the south side of the tower that has the raven's nest.
The Peregrine Chick:
Nice catch with the band RCF - and yes, it definitely could be Alice! She looks alot less brown than last year and the year before but that could be that the lighting around her as you got her photo.
And I'm glad you were able to get the picture of her sitting there like that - its been hard to gauge the size of the hidey-hole in relation to a peregrine - particularly an adult female. And if this is Alice (and I think it probably is in the absence of being able to confirm her band number), correct foot and she does have a dark rusty coloured wash late in the season which extends up into her cheek patch - which is just like this bird and isn't like that for all birds. If it is Alice, she's a big female and from your photo she would have no problem accessing the hidey-hole if we add a "box" with space below for water drainage and a couple of inches of gravel.
Good catch! :)
Kinderchick:
Nice to hear they're still around. :)
