I watched that from work - they put on a great display didn't they?
Not long after one chased a small flock of street-peckers nearly in through y office window making concentrating on my meeting very difficult!

Three Peregrines atop the Arndale this morning at 11am, indulging in a spot of playfighting. Absolutely marvellous.

I am informed that the City Centre chicks have not been ringed as they were too old and the risk of loosing one over the edge was too great. Logistical problems prevented earlier ringing this year.

Doesn't appear so from the one chick I can see on the Ustream feed?
Seems like both legs are visible without any rings.
Rob Smallwood said
Mon May 28 7:49 PM, 2012
I'm guessing that the chicks may have been rung this morning - can anyone confirm?

2 of the chicks have left the safety of the nest and are now running around the ledge some scarey moments as they get close to the edge, funny watching them trying to get back in the box

Just a heads up for anyone who has been watching the RSPB's webcam of the peregrines...It will be turned off from 4pm on Friday (11th) afternoon until 5pm on Saturday (12th) afternoon for some essential maintanence work to the MDDA wireless network which the camera feeds the images through. If anyone has any queries regarding the work please feel free to get in touch. Cheers, Jo

Early visit to Manchester this morning with Henry Cook.
Nice flight views of a male Peregrine carrying a Feral Pigeon near Manchester Cathedral, before it landed on a balcony near the top of the Premier Inn and commenced plucking it's unfortunate prey.

Watching the tray on U stream cam, I would say that some of the eggs have hatched, The female is lifting her body up and down and looking beneath herself all the time. There is some dark brown object at the back of the tray that may be an egg shell. Fingers crosssed!!

Could anyone give me the name and e-mail address of the person who's in charge of the webcam on the city centre peregrine project please? Or perhaps someone else involved in the project who might be able to do so. I'd like to know what camera they're using and some other technical stuff. Thanks, Martyn.

I think you'll find she will, Steven. Peregrines (like most raptors) don't go in for synchronous hatching, so "full-time" incubation should start before the clutch is complete.
She's sitting right now
