The original post has disappeared into the ether.

these nest cams are wonderful.

Parent bird now had new food but is keeping it away from the chick,

"No pudding until you've eaten your meat" LOL

[melv16]

Luncheon has been delivered.

[Canary42]

I just wish they'd wind-muff the mic. I could switch off my sound, but I like to hear the birds calling.

[melv16]

Won't be long before the chick fledges. It on the wooden perch...squeaky bum time.

[melv16]

Brunch has just been served..the chick nearly fell off the perch in its eagerness to eat.

[melv16]

Chick calling frantically on the perch. The adults may be keeping it short of food so it'll fledge.

[Tilly2]

It's a big, scary jump!

[ladybirder]

It had better hurry up or it will be dark soon and it won't get any food at all today. I feel so sorry for it:-(

[melv16]

The chick has just this minute fledged!

[Tilly2]

Now his lunch has appeared!

[melv16]

It was on the front perch, it was distracted by something to the RH side, (could have been the adult with food?) The chick clumsily flew across but landed on the scaffolding pole. It went off camera for a few seconds, then flew off to the left.

[Tilly2]

Will it return, Melv?

[melv16]

It could use the box for a roost at night. The Sheffield peregrines keep returning to feed occasionally.

[Canary42]

No one at home currently.

[Tilly2]

Nor now.

[melv16]

Tilly, was the German eagle owl successful this year?

[Tilly2]

I don't know, Melv. I haven't watched it.

[Tilly2]

Found this though.

Thanks for the link, tilly.
Looks like that's it for this year. I hope LB's stress level has dropped:-)

[ladybirder]

Yes it has melv thank you. Nest is empty so I hope it's comfortable wherever it is.
