As always, I much appreciate the great captures & videos! :leafthumbsup:

The kids seem to be cold today. I can see that its quite windy because of things flying around the nest. Glad to see the kids aren't near the door today as it isn't safe for them to be there when its windy!

What a nice video of the chick sharing a meal. :pumpeyes:

Can only see 2 for sure in the corner. Hope the 3rd one is there too. It's super windy, but surely nobody has been swept from the box. :nervous:

Especially not here, not a good history.

Update and videos posted on Falcon Cam site:
http://falconcamproject.org/

Published 5 November, 2015 | By Scott Banks
We’ve posted some more video clips of these peregrines (FYI – Peregrinus, subspecies macropus – meaning “large feet” – you learn something new every day!):

Feeding time, with Diamond and the three chicks.
Feeding time, with Bula and the three chicks. Note the difference in size over the chicks – the peregrine male can be up to 1.3rd smaller in stature than the female.
The whole family near the ledge, for a feed.
This is how peregrine falcon chicks relax i.e. flat out like lizards drinking!
Night-moves – the three eyases taking a midnight stretch.

Cuter by the day, although, as you can see in the cameras, that the teenage phase has begun and the main flight feathers are beginning to poke through now. By all calculations (Cilla can back me up here) these chicks have possibly another 8-10 days before thoughts of fledging take over and they chance the 50 metre drop to make their first controlled “solo” flight, which, in the past, hasn’t always been plain sailing. We’ll be watching closely and hoping that the weather improves on last year when Aspro was blown clean out of the eyrie and lost.
