Levelling Up

  The peregrine falcon chick has been ringed and is a falcon; if male she would be a tiercel. This morning she jumped up on the balcony wall for the first time.

Only one egg hatched this year and the chick is now three weeks old and taking a look at the outside world for the first time.

Almost five years ago R and I had a walking holiday in Swaledale.

We Have a Chick!

“We have a chick! It must have hatched around 4.45am. It was revealed a few minutes ago when Azina had to go deal with an intruder that Tom couldn’t chase off.” (Nathalie Mahieu, 16th April 2022)
