Marlow Peregrines Update
Sadly the young Avon Lady has been scared off by a new adult female. Seen here on the right, compared to the smaller male. However the Avon Lady has been seen this week in Maidenhead, which is a relief.
We have seen the adult pair displaying courting behaviour, mating and today the female started making a scrape on the nesting platform. We are hopeful eggs are imminent
Better late than never

(27/06/21) Two of the young are taking small flights around the spire, the third is being a little more cautious….

(22/06/21) A big milestone today, all three chicks made it up to the parapet ledge – they drew quite a crowd in the churchyard!…
(21/06/21) Much less time spent on the nest cam now, as the chicks start the fledging stage…

(03/06/21) The flight and tail feathers are really quite visible now, showing as dark coloured tips to the fluffy white down….
(02/06/21) Big day for the chicks as they were ringed, so their data will contribute to the National studies of these amazing birds in the UK….
(31/05/21) The three chicks are feeding very well – Mum and Dad are really busy bringing in prey items for them all….
