Reader Malcolm reminds us that the peregrines nesting on top of Norwich Cathedral have just produced two chicks: little white fluffballs. Here’s a screenshot; click on it to go to the livecam. And if you go NOW, you’ll see the feeding! Mom is making a racket.
There are other peregrine and kestrel cams in the UK: reader Pyers has given us a link to several of them. He adds this:
You will need to look at Cam 2 for a live feed of some local kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) that have nested on a ledge of a redundant (can’t they all be? ) church in the city ( Worcester – UK ). There are three eggs being incubated at the time.
Have a look at the other cameras … Apart from the fact that you get lovely views of my medieval city, you do occasionally get a peregrine coming in (the hope is that they will breed, but that hasn’t happened for couple of years) …
And if you pick the right time to watch and you’ve got really good eyesight you’ll be able to watch a bit of cricket in the background.
Tuesday & Thursday afternoons it used to be!
I used to play hockey/rugby/cricket on those playing fields!
Beautifully clear picture! Mom is brooding now; I’ll tune in periodically in hopes of catching a feeding.
Boy, that is going to be a blockbuster. I can see the pigeons fleeing to the ‘burbs en masse.
Another peregrine cam:

That one was definitely eating pigeons!
And one of my favourites … An osprey nest in the stunningly beautiful Dyfi estuary in Mid-Wales … Any Aberystwyth grads will recognise the place as being right by Dovey Junction station

Looked windy – the osprey’s head was being fluffed up by the breeze into a punk style!
Awww! Now that is really fun to see.
