At last...

Yesterday in Chichester the Pegs were flying around giving the low 'cuk-cuk' sound typical at this time but the camera was still showing an empty nest and the female departed whilst the male sat on the turret above the box (below, distant and with the macro).

Elsewhere, five Buzzards over the north carpark.

Today the first egg was laid and whilst writing this the female is covering the egg. So, eight days later than last year but still not (obviously) perturbed by the very close building work. It took five days last year to complete the clutch, so Wednesday or Thursdays this week.

And of course David and Janet's photos, blog and other info at www.chichesterperegrines.com

Late afternoon a few hirundines were distant over a choppy PHP, probably Sand Martins.
