Guess who? She's back - Bobbin returned to the perch 3pm Saturday. Not for long, she stayed about 20 minutes but also returned around 3pm today for 15 minutes. It was August last year when she visited again after breeding, this does seem a little early...

Could mean her nest failed :girlsad3:

Picture taken last night whist the chicks were rung. Male on the left his weight was 640g and female on the right weighting in at 805g. Also notice how big the feet are on the female, weight and leg size is how we sex the chicks

Whilst our city kestrels have been successful this year with all four chicks fledging it sadly looks like Bobbin has not.
With information supplied it looks as if she may have had one chick but it hasn't survived & the nest has failed. We don’t know why or any further details at present but the tiercel has been spotted still around the site while Bobbin was in Worcester for a few days.
Natural causes or animal/human predation? We’d like to think natural or animal but peregrines have been persecuted in the area before. On the positive side Bobbin is as fit & healthy as ever so is her partner.
Many thanks again to Pete Walkden for updates & for keeping an eye on her...

What a great pic...but so sad to hear about her chick...I wonder why she stopped using the box up there?

New visitor on the perch today, first different spire peregrine for two years! Looks like the one year tiercel (male) that's been spotted on the cathedral. This male was on the cathedral when Bobbin returned, not out of the question that he may be one of her offspring from last year?

Male back on cam 5 now 7.15am... Two kestrels on cam 2...

He's still on the perch & is finishing off Bobbin's prey!

Bobbin departing the perch 5pm yesterday...
