A very sad day at the Hobby nest as the 2nd chick died today. I wouldn't recommend that anyone check the cam first thing tommorow. Not sure why this happened but the watchers there noted that feeding was erratic with multiple feeds some days and only one daylight feeds on others. There was also a major rain storm this morning with the mom trying somewhat unsuccessfuly to shelter the two young. :( Let us hope that the remaining chick is a surviror.

The chick was alive and sitting up and being fed at daybreak when I checked. I just looked now and it appears to still be alive but is lying on it's back and seems to be grasping for it's breath. I could not bear to watch any further.

So sad...looks like one of the chicks in the nest has died.
Since I went to the web cam this morning I only saw the one chick moving around. The other one was so still...no movement at all.
Parent just brought food in and the one chick was walking all over the other one while parent fed it. Looks like the one chick is lying on its back. As other chick walked on it you could see the feet move because of the live chicks pressure.

Hi there. There is a website for the New Forest Gateway Organization that has the Hobby cam plus a blog and ongoing observations. It appears that the 3rd chick that was born 2 days after the first two wasn't strong enough to make it. The other 2 appear to be doing O.K.. Yesterday I saw them having a tug of war over a bird that the parent brought in.

I have been watching the Radisson (Winnipeg) falcons for a few years now, and I managed to get a co-worker hooked on Peregrines as much as I am!
The first thing we do when we arrive at work in the morning, turn on the computer and go the website to watch the little hobbies in the UK. Now that comes before making coffee!!!! Pretty impressive I think!
Those little ones are so cute, and they really make us miss our little Radisson babies!
