Thank you for the update on Norwich, SGB. It is very sad that the egg did not hatch.

The baby falcons now all have names! Two of the four chicks hatched during the Royal Wedding and thus were immediately named Will and Kate. Then, the Wildlife Trust ran a public competition to suggest suitable names for the other two. They received many suggestions including Robin and Marion and of course Harry and Pippa. After watching the webcam in their science lessons, pupils from a Nottingham city school offered their own ideas, including Apollo, Ziggy and Clove. But the winning names came from Ken Evans, a student at Nottingham Law School, who put forward Isaac and Newton. He explained that he chose these because "the falcons are perched so high up on the Newton building, and they defy gravity whenever they display their aerobatic ability."

Worcester~apparently, this is very exciting news...From the Facebook page:

TOP NEWS - She's back!!! Bobbin returns to the East perch following a six month absence. Rebooted the cameras this morning & played back the last few days - much to my surprise I found Bobbin landing on the perch Tuesday evening. She stayed for an hour then returned @ 4am Wednesday & left 6.45am. Great to see she's alive & healthy...knew it was Bobbin long before I found a frame showing the ring. Does she have a mate or young??...we may still find out - all eyes on the Spire...

...and currently:
