Derby Peregrine Falcon Arrivals
The viewers of our Streamdays hosted webcams at Derby Cathedral were greeted by two new arrivals on Wednesday evening.
Some of the viewers of the webcams reported signs of something fluffy and white late on Wednesday night but it wasn’t until the sun came out and the parents swapped incubation shifts that we could confirm that two of the chicks have hatched, leaving two eggs remaining.
If you are logging into watch the progress at the Derby Peregrine Webcam then you have to be quick (or lucky) to catch a glimpse of the chicks being fed. We were lucky enough to be watching at the right time this afternoon, as you can see.
We’re hoping the other two chicks will hatch over the next day or two, so keep watching their progress. Baby falcon names on a postcard to…
Keep track of the full progress on the Peregrine Blog.

Thank you Patricia,
And we have more activity this year. The falcons are once again nesting and we have eggs being protected and kept warm round-the-clock.
