So great that everyone is safely flying and learning and doing just what they're supposed to do!  Three healthy strong birds ;D

All three chicks were perched on the mts tower, Kelly on the top beam and the two boys lower down.

All five peregrines accounted for today.  Hurricane was giving lessons to Kelly this afternoon and all three kids were chasing both parents around with lots of yelling going on!

When I checked the cam a couple of hours ago, Kelly was hanging out on the roof of the hackbox, looks like that might have been her perch for the night.  She preened and kakked and eventually toddled about on her way ...

From watching the cam I could see all three chicks on the lower roof. I only see two now, one is eating, another one is on the northeast pillar and the other one flew off somewhere.  :)

I saw three peregrines fly across the roof earlier this morning, think it was two kids and a parent.

Forecast for today & tonight ...

Day - Overcast with rain, then a chance of rain in the afternoon. High of 19C. Breezy. Winds from the NW at 20 to 25 km/h. Chance of rain 50%.
Night - Overcast with a chance of rain in the evening, then partly cloudy. Low of 7C. Breezy. Winds from the North at 10 to 25 km/h.


Bogart, Spencer & Kelly are pretty active off-camera right now so we'll leave the long-view on the camera in case they come within range - you don't get a closeup of them but hopefully you can catch a glimpse of what they are getting up to ...

The red tape on Kelly's silver band has partially come off, I noticed this the day she fledged.

Dennis was putting the tape on and I think the red tape was a bit short and didn't go all the way round ... so you could be right RCF or it could be that you are seeing the short end .. 

Well throw me under the bus...sorry  ::)

You are just proof that it happens to the best of it Dennis, that's all  ;) :-*
