Peregrine FAIL. Kestrel OMG!
Well we're keeping our eyes on the peregrine falcons on the BT Tower in Birmingham. You can watch them live here. So far their behaviour has been pretty strange and they don't seem to have raised any chicks. And we're getting similar reports from other peregrine sites across the city. Is there something up with our Brummie birds of prey? We'll be investigating in Springwatch on Midlands Today starting on the first of June.
But it's not all bad news here's a picture taken from the Aston University Kestrel cam which you can find here. As you can see this family has managed to raise at least five chicks! And it's a pretty modern affair with dad doing at least half of the nest sitting.
