Hopefully one of them will bump into the young from sk58 as far as I know there's a tray going spare in South Anston.

That's good to know that they are still being seen, one of the females is definitely hunting well, she brought a live pigeon back a few weeks ago, unless mum managed a mid air pass with live prey.

ZDD at Orgreave last Saturday.
ZCD at Redmires today it looks like (long distance photo)
So they are all roaming around. No doubt they return to the church still. It’s quite early for them to be independent or kicked out.

Yep she's looking good everybody did a great job rescuing her, it's interesting to see both females still around and looks like the males have left...there was another on top of the box a few minutes later.

What a beauty she is.
A testament to whoever found her and took her to Broomhill vets and the Sheffield Stringfoots rehabbers who kept her fed and strong whilst getting hold of me to take her back to the church. Such a privilege to see her up close.

This year’s @SheffPeregrines youngsters can still be spotted on webcams from time to time but also now exploring further afield too. ZDD photographed at Orgreave last weekend. ZCD (probably) seen at Redmires this morning by @DonDavidWood1

@SheffPeregrines there must have been a mid air relivery, after leaving from behind the box she was back within a minute.

One or two of them could be around for a few months more yet, one may stay until breeding time next year, I'm going to pop up tomorrow to see who is hanging around.

If you look at the youngsters they have blue around the eyes and beak at the minute and the adults yellow, I have to admit I thought it was a youngster at first until I spotted the colour.

Oh sorry I can’t tell them apart only by rings lol and I didn’t know if it was a little one or not so thought I’d check it in.
