I saw one (or more) of the Kestrel chicks this morning, it came to the edge of the nest and flapped its wings, then, on some occasions for the next ten minutes or so, a small head was visible peering from the rock face. The chicks must be close to fledging, so let's hope that they can get safely from their nest when they start to fly. Unlike another young Kestrel from the Create Centre roof. We took that youngster to Secret World on Tuesday.At the Peregrine Watch one of the young birds flew over the river from the nest site, and flew around the tops of the trees for a while. They practice their flying and catching skills on tree tops - when there are no pigeons around to chase. The young Peregrine was joined by one of its parents. One of them ended up perching in one of the dead trees opposite. Home to breakfast and a kipper!
