That nest doesn't look too cosy.  Wonderful images!

MaryD, the weather in Nottingham has been atrocious to day. We have had gale strong winds and bucket loads of rain.

Thanks for this.
Falcons are one my fave birds, we have them and hawks nearby.
The website says: camera stream not found? I will try again later.

I love this,, i checked it out earlier today when i read the post and it was so neat.  A couple of years ago i watched the whole cycle of some bald eagles in alaska.  So neat and i was watching when one finally took off in flight.  Beautiful.  I hope to have time to watch these little ones.  Beauties!  one of the babies had it's head sticking out from sleeping mom.  So cool

it is Tuesday and over the week-end she has lost two chicks, due to the weather. i think she lost one yesterday as well, I can only see one moving, the greedy one. I have not seen the male bird around so I hope he didn't fall foul in this shitty weather.
