We've got a treat for you - an exclusive bit of behind the scenes stuff ! The Manchester peregrine chicks are being ringed tomorrow and for the first time ever we're able to leave the nest cams on whilst it's being done. Tune in at around noon tomorrow (Wednesday 22 May) to see how the team...

We only told you about their arrival on Wednesday , but there's some sad news from Cardiff I'm afraid. It seems that the last week of torrential ran and colder temperatures has taken its toll on the peregrine chicks and one of them hasn't made it. Luckily the two remaining chicks are looking...

Getting the nest cam up for the Lincoln peregrines has been far from straight forward as we told you last week , but I'm pleased to announce that the nest cam is now live! You can now keep up with all the action from the nest even if you're not there. And even better - we can now confirm that...

There's been a bit of a baby boom for our Dates with Nature this week. The three Manchester peregrine chicks were the first to arrive, with the first two chicks making their appearance on 4 May and the third on 6 May. We can't confirm whether the fourth egg has hatched or not, and many people...

When the web connection went live at the Lincoln peregrines back in May, the team were really excited to see the peregrines were back and nesting on the south west corner of the cathedral tower. It's just a shame that they decided to set up home in the nest without the camera... The female appeared...

The Scarborough peregrines are back! The friendly team of RSPB experts will be on hand on Marine Drive from 10:30am - 4:30pm every Wednesday and Sunday from now until 28 July. So if you're heading to the coast for a little seaside fun this summer, stop by and see us.

Last thing on Friday, I posted a quick update to let you know the exciting news that the first Chichester peregrine chick had hatched . Well, chick number 1 was quickly followed by chick number 2, who arrived a short while after. The second egg was only laid an hour after the first, so it's no big...

The first egg has hatched! There's three more in the nest so shouldn't be too long before they hatch too. What a cracking start to the weekend! This was the female about to leave the nest yesterday afternoon. Photo by biteyourbum.com

It's a week of waiting for the anxious parents at our Date with Natures . Up on Mull , the first of this year's white-tailed eagle eggs is due to hatch on Friday. It's Iona and Fingal's fourth year nesting at the site so fingers crossed it's a good one! A little further south,...

The great news is that peregrins have started to lay their eggs. Diamond Lil (partner Dapper Dan) laid her first egg on February 13) Vergine in Rome laid her first egg on February 17 and now laid a second one today. Spring is really here. Link to Peregrines RSPB and Peregrine...

Just been reading about Peregrines and the display they put on for their mates. Dorset and Chichester are just two of the areas you can see this fantastic display. If you go onto website rspb.org.uk/datewithnature/dates.aspx it will tell you places and dates to see this display. It looks like...

Hi all, I'll be honest, my knowledge of feathers is limited! I can tell a peacock from a magpie, and a buzzard from an owl but I'm no expert, although I am very fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful friends who keep me company in the garden and around the croft. I count amongst my friends...

Hi Shane Personally, I would be tempted to go when the eggs have hatched. In fact I might be tempted to do that. :-)

Dear Miss Kimbo. Yes, there are peregrines that can be seen around the Barbican and St Paul's area. John B is quite right in saying there are more than 20 breeding pairs now living in Greater London and we're now in to the breeding season. The pair you have seen will be the subject of our...

Hi Brockbuster Welcome to the Community from me. :-) JBNTS has given you the right answer. They must be wonderful to watch at this time of year when they are showing off like that. Just in case you didn't know, when you look at your post on the thread, you should see a blue Edit button....
