June 4 Wednesday FLEDGE report Raining
Only my own cam observations, or lack of observation! - NOT official
1000 am Parent arrives on ledge with prey, waits awhile, flies off with prey.
No screaming juvies. The parent must be taking prey to them - somewhere.
1030 One juvie fly-hop-skips by cam, stops briefly to pose, continues on down to the end and around the corner.
NOON - Parent drops off prey to ledge loner and flies off. After screaming a bit, loner tackles prey.
I see a falcon on the blue building across the street. 3 kids are likely flying around from roof to roof.
Notts should blog their fledge here - http://ntufalcons.wordpress.com

This could be the last we see of the kids

Notts finally blogged. They are gone - de-ledged now - flying.
I see 2 of them on the blue building roof.
You can see that building in above picture - the falcon fledgling is looking right at it.

Another successful season ends
Posted on 5 June 2014
With our four new chicks appearing to have now fledged the nest, we’re glad that it’s been another successful season.

As most of you will be able to tell from the poll, the four names chosen for the birds are Milly, Molly and Mandy. The names are taken from a series of children’s books written and illustrated by Joyce Lankester Brisley which date back as far as 1928.

These names are in addition to the smallest chick being named Frank Jennings, a man who has worked for Nottingham Trent University’s Estates Department for 25 years and who retires this summer. Among the many things Frank achieved with the university, he built the original nest box that the falcons first began to breed in.
Once the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust are comfortable that the birds have successfully fledged, please be assured that any rings in the nest box will be collected and handed to the Royal Pigeon Racing Association. :egg11:

It's good to see mom. I love this nest. The picture of her is beautiful. I guess the babies have all left the area by now. Nottingham had a good season. :loveshow:
