Peregrine falcons on "Old Joe" Birmingham University clock tower

Hi Lyn, my real name is Neville, no one ever told me I'm cute- jealousy gets me nowhere!!!
I know it's off subject, as was my comment above , but does anyone watch any of the Osprey nesting sites.
I have watched them for years since taking an interest while visiting some in Scotland. Love to see them hatching out and progress they make

hi johnny/nev lol...i wonder if like our chick you was also named after neville chamberlain...have to say i have not watched any of the osprey nesting sites but i may take a look later...watching our neville since he hatched has been fascinating and i have to admit i have now grown attached to the little fella :) really hoping he makes it safely into adult hood and soars high in the sky

Apologies for the quality of these but they are camera photos of the video playing on my phone. I knew they would have disappeared by this morning (camera only shows 12 hours) and it was a bit late to put my laptop on.
The moment Neville climbs up for a better look and falls with much wing flapping. Last image shows him just visible on the ledge inbottom right corner.
