That's good news - up until today I had only seen 3 together post fledging, today I managed 4.

In my defence I am busy at work and can't spend as long as I would like gazing across the Manchester skyline!

both parents & 3 juvenilles were putting on great displays on Friday afternoon/evening, lots off activity from them, and got some pics off a food pass

Yes Rob, myself and Adrian have pics of all 3 juvs a couple of days after they fledged and both adults. Will keep the forum posted of updates

Has anyone seen all 5 since the young fledged?

9.45am

Good views of two Peregrine Falcons perched on the corner of a city centre office block this morning.

Found the remains of a Snipe at the top of the Town Hall Clock Tower this afternoon. Can only assume that this was caught by our Peregrines!

Nothing showing on the webcam at the moment unless they are on the other side of it .

* Correction one bird lying low in nest

Three chicks still on the nest site in Manc, the adults have been giving us cracking views throughout the week often on the Arndale sign.

We think the chicks will fledged in the next few days so keep your eyes on the live webcam.

There were three birds in the air on Tuesday but I assumed that the two adults had been joined by an interloper - maybe one of the young had left the ledge....

Looks like the chicks have fledged today

3 chicks have just had a feed. No sign of the 4th egg!

The 3 chicks have had 4 feeds today still 1 egg in nest maybe only 3 to hatch

3 hatched still 1 to go

Actually - it may be the male on the nest - I am not sure, if so we have a male interloper - either way there are three!

More excitement today - a second female type has appeared on the scene - with one bird sat on the nest what I think was the male and a rogue female have been playing in the air off and on for the last couple of hours...

Great excitement around 14:00 when the pair had to see off a wandering Red Kite!

great eye level views of a single peregrine from the 24th floor of CIS tower this morning as it cruised around in the wind

male & female peregrines showing well this afternoon despite struggling a little in the wind, both enjoying a snack as I arrived

Cheers Steve

I managed to get out of my meeting with enough light left to get a view of both peregrines, clearly visible, sat high up on opposite corners of an office building. Amazing. They looked like 2 gargoyles until they started preening. Thanks to all who sent advice.

glad you got to see the peregrines lynne, was nice to meet you also they stayed as they were (like gargoyles) for a while, then something happened and again I missed a shot, to fast they are !

ivan, the answer to your question is as far as I know the camera maybe up and running by the end of the month !

There are lots of locations discussed in this thread but standing on Victoria Bridge and looking up usually works for me!

Where were you standing, Steven? In Albert Square?

I have to go into the city centre for a work meeting tomorrow. Any advice about likely places where I could try to see the peregrines?

Male on Premier Inn and female on last year's nest site ledge yesterday (13th) morning just before 9 - easily visible as I walked towards the office.

Does anyone know when the live feed is going to start. The pair on the wildlife whisperer website( london )have an egg and the ones in nottingham and norwich are spending lots of time on the nest trays. Hopefully our pairs around the county will be laying anytime now and it would be great to watch them on cctv.

male and female peregrines showing well again this afternoon. when the snow flurries came and I went for cover and came back when the sun was shinning, both peregrines still sat in the same spot not at all bothered by the snow

male and female peregrine falcons giving me excellent views this afternoon, in the 3 hours off watching them they were perched close to each other for about 2 and a half hours up til dusk, which was very nice to see.

Very active at moment, and making visits to a former nest site. Spring is in the air!

Peregrine back on the same Town Hall perch this afternoon.

Peregrine perched on one of the towers at Town Hall just now. Top view from a third floor balcony overlooking the courtyard, one of work's little perks!

Currently evacuated from work due to a bomb scare Male and Female Peregrine around the Mercure hotel they too soon evacuated the area!

Back on the 'D' when I was out at lunch time today

Peregrines enjoying the fine weather and strong winds this morning - some impressive display over the Premier Inn as I type.

Wow Rob how lucky are you having such a fab view from work.? Jealous haha

Wow cheers guys will have to get myself down there hopefully at weekend. I'm thinking the best vantage point is around sinclairs.?

Female regular around Bloom St / Central Library

Female on the "D" of Arndale as I type.

Still regular on the CIS Tower as well

They are still very much about - there has been a little activity around a former nest site.

You can often find one on the Town Hall, Arndale sign or Premier Inn sign.

Hi guys

Been a while since anyone posted here so does that mean the peregrines are out of town or do they stay all year round.?

Thanks in advance. Saw rspb there in summer with scopes but was out boozing so didnt get chance to ask questions.!!!

One along Corporation St. from the direction of Victoria Station at about 4th storey height, then headed towards the CIS tower, about 13.00

Was lucky enough to be at the top of the Town Hall Clock Tower today - saw a group of Pigeons swirling in agitation around a building below, inevitably, there was a Peregrine on hand - it flew past me reasonably close before zooming off to perch atop the Arndale Tower. A second bird then also landed on the Arndale.

As my bus pulled into Piccadilly this afternoon, I was able to watch a Peregrine causing havoc amongst the feral pigeons.

Friday 27th 6 50am 2 birds flying around CIS tower before landing on the C
2 45pm 1 bird hunting in Picadilly

1bird seen flying around work CIS at 6.45am

A peregrine was circling low above St Anne's church this afternoon at 2pm before flying off towards the Arndale. Looked like a male bird from the size of it.

3 birds putting on a great aerobatic display round the CIS tower at 5pm
