Great pair bonding between Tom and Azina yesterday. Usually Tom leaves sharply but, this time, he stays at the entrance of the box and the bonding continues for a while until Azina leaves. They touch beaks too.

Great capture of her looking up!
She looks up at a crow perching above her then tears after it, banking and accelerating into the trees like a sparrowhawk. The crow escapes, and caws a warning to its gang. @fabperegrines.bsky.social

More pair bonding, from this afternoon. Interestingly, when Azina gets in the nest box first, usually Tom leaves but this time he follows her and stays at the entrance for a relatively long display.

Courting between Tom and Azina this afternoon. During this afternoon Peregrine Watch they were perched close to each other. The bond between them is very strong.

Within a few minutes of being released Tom was on the ledge and a minute later he was diving after a Pigeon. Go Tom!

Tom being released. He didn't hesitate!
Unfortunately I stopped the video thinking I'd have time to take a photo before he'd take off again but he was in a hurry!

Tom's back! And it didn't take long before he was reunited with Azina and they visited the nest box 😊

There was a visitor to the nest box this morning! He was on the ledge for about 10 minutes but I don't think Azina noticed him then.

Azina today. She's been perching on her usual spots of recently, i.e. the ledge, the 12th floor (last shot), the perches on the East side. She had a good afternoon meal and this morning she cast a mahoosive pellet.

Apologies for the long silence. The youngsters left about three weeks ago. Yesterday people found Tom on the ground in the cemetery, unable to fly. He was put in a carrier (first shot, still wet) and I took it home (second and third shots).

Last thing you want to hear and see when you're having your dinner... 😉

Zig (first shot) and Zag (second shot) on the ledge earlier today.
I've noticed that Zag's cere has started to turn yellow, while Zig's is still grey, even though she's the oldest.

Today my day started with Zig and Zag on the crane and finished with Zig and Zag on the crane 😉
They're still around and doing well, though we don't see both of them every day on Peregrine Watch any more.
