Mr P the Bath peregrine VIII

Hello again.  It's me, Mr P.  Well it's been a little while since we last caught up on what we've been up to in Bath.  As you might have seen in springwatch a few weeks ago, my chicks have fledged.  Chicky P my boy obviously mistook that when he hatched out in a puddle of water that he was a duck or something as he's been in the river twice since he fledged.  I'm glad to say that he got out both times without me having to help as I'm fed up of the water this year.  Chicky P my daughter on the other hand has been a lot more reserved and keeps hiding in the nestbox when it rains.  Well, except for yesterday when she missed and landed on top and still wound up getting wet.  Oh the fun and games we have.

 

This pictures pretty much sums up what things are about at the moment.

That's right.  Me and Mrs P have become a meals on wings delivery service for the chicks.  Hopefully this years chicks will catch on quicker than P junior.  Its been nice having him baby sit and all that, but after all two is company and he's so loud.

 

Till next time.

Mr P
