As a result of the Pitt peregrines had no eggs this 12 months I miss seeing their younger on digital camera. To fill that hole I’ve been following the Fulham and Barnes Peregrines at Charing Cross Hospital in London, UK whose each day lives are chronicled by @FaBPeregrines.
Azina, Tom and their son P6T (named for his band quantity) are incessantly seen on digital camera, even in late August. P6T’s dispersal from his natal web site is on a later schedule than we’re used to in Pittsburgh.
Juvenile peregrines in Pittsburgh fledge in early June and depart in July. At Fulham and Barnes, P6T fledged within the fourth week of Might and remains to be hanging round in late August. His persistence offers us a possibility to observe a peregrine household in late summer time when the teen hunts on his personal.
The entire household on the ledge for a really temporary second when Tom comes and snatches P6T’s prey whereas P6T is busy annoying his mum 😉
