BBC Fort Falcons not a failure after all
Earlier in the year we set up a webcam to follow the peregrine falcon family that nest on Fort Dunlop here in Birmingham. The aim to learn more about these birds as they spread into urban spaces.
In the end our falcon mum was totally clueless about raising a family and despite laying two eggs things ended badly.
Well now we've had a tip-off that although they abandoned the nest at Fort Dunlop our falcons went on to raise at least two and possibly three chicks nearby.
Next year we hope they'll perform for our cameras. To make sure you don't miss anything sign up for tweets from BBCFalcons on Twitter and we'll keep you posted.
