Chichester peregrines score a hatrick

Just a day after RSPB vice president Chris Packham launched this year’s Chichester Cathedral peregrines project three eggs have hatched in one day - a first for this famous couple.

All eyes are now on the final egg, which should hatch any day now....

What a wonderful sight. I caught up with the live video after the chicks had been born. How they have grown. What a treat to see a Peregrine Falcon and on one occasion both of them. What a treat to see them being fed and looked after so well. Keep up the good work.

How quickly they grow! Getting more gorgeous by the day. At the moment they seem to be 'shouting' for 'mum' to bring home their tea. Waiting with bated breath for the 'birth' of 'my' Ospreys, this weekend, at Loch Garten!!!!!!!!

Hi Lucinda.........Is this the same cute 'baby' chicks we have been watching? Can't believe it......soon be time for tears when they have fledged. I think many of us humans will be suffering from 'empty nest' syndrome! No doubt you have heard our great news from Loch Garten......one chick 'born' Saturday am, and 2nd. this am. Gorgeous!

What wonderful birds. They have been amazing to watch. They have grown so much and so quickley. Couldn't get them for a couple of days and what a difference when I finally got to see them again I couldn't believe it. I've seen one trying its wings out and running round. The parents have been brilliant. My favourite watch in all the ones I am watching. I just hope I see them fly for the first time.
