The adults have been good providers but are now rarely at the nest. These were digiscoped at an undisclosed site in Cornwall and despite how it looks we were never close to the nest.
My thanks go to Paul and Dennis for there assistance. John

Cornish Peregrines raise 4.
I have been watching this family of 4 Peregrine chicks for a couple of weeks, after a tip off from a friend, Paul Robins, who has kindly supplied the first and earliest shot in this series, showing the newly hatched young being fed. I have only been able to follow this up when working in the area. The shots run from 12th May to today and I don't think it'll be long before they fledge.
