Wonderful birds these. If anyone is interested, the first two chicks hatched yesterday with the other two eggs likely to break through today or tomorrow. Dad is going to be very, very busy. Here's the nest box webcam; one inside the nest box and one sitting just above it. http://sussexheights.co.uk/sussex-heights-brighton-peregrine-falcons-nestbox-camera
For anyone that doesn't know where Sussex Heights is, just stand opposite Churchill Sq shopping centre facing south and it is the very tall, white building to your right. You can see the black nest box sitting at the top. Standing there watching the birds hunt live are just mind blowing, especially when they are teaching the chicks how to hunt by flying up and dropping a pigeon carcass for them to catch. Carnage.
Anyway, enjoy.
