It's b... cold here in Norwich this morning !

Certainly is, I’m off to Ely shortly where I’m sure it will be even colder!

My daughter in Norfolk told me about this webcam but I never got around to looking, thanks.

About three years ago I was walking back from St Peter's to Bradwell and, looking at the power station, thought to myself, "that would be a great place for a peregrine". Just at that moment, two peregrines popped out of a box up there and flew off.

“You want me to do what? Jump down there? Are you insane?”?

“You want me to do what? Jump down there? Are you insane?”?

I know the feeling. The most extreme example was the set of goslings, barnacle geese possibly, that started off one of Attenborough's series by jumping off a cliff before they could fly and tumble down many hundreds of feet.

I remember that episode, sadly not all survived the perilous first “flight”.

Not sure I would be standing right on the edge like that unless I was 100% certain of my flying abilities!

sweet innocence

 

[Kukri]

Standing on the edge in this wind is bad enough but raising one leg and having a scratch with it is taking the proverbial...

One looks decidedly dead.

 

[Malish]

nah, all four moving, unless you mean the residue of pigeon

 

[Malish]

bet they have all flown when the web cam returns...

 

[Kukri]

They are almost ready to go, now.

Somebody needs to tell the cathedral website manager that an interruption in internet connection is a "break in service". A "break-in service" sounds like they have a burglar for hire.

 

[Malish]

could be a service in the local prison ;-)

 

[Charlie Boy]

Perhaps the bird thieves have got at it?

 

[Kukri]

One of the four chicks was giving the camera a Hard Stare...

 

[Malish]

Good news! the camera is back on

Not such good news, the chicks have fledged and gone...
