Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
Jo:
Both chicks are up and enjoying the view. I think it's the male who is on top of the grate (less white fluff left)
The Peregrine Chick:
For those wanting the count ...
* Day 35 - Sat (July 6th) - usually earliest a chick will fledge and be half-way successful/safe - almost always males
* Day 40 - Wed (10th) - an average fledge age for males/females
* Day 45 - Tues (16th) - females usually fledge around this point - ours are a bit smaller these days so usually earlier
* Day 50 - Sun (21st) - usually chicks are up and flying and generally past the dangerous first 10 day mark but depends on gender and when the individual chicks actually fledged.

It is one of the adults - the chicks are together in the shade along the front wall ...
