Growing up Peregrine

6 Jul

Written By me 2

At Tewkesbury Abbey Jo Jo and Florence went from eggs in late April to Junior Hunters by July :)

Florence left, Jo Jo right. Soon after they fledge they often perch lower down on the Abbey so you can get a closer picture.

First peek I saw was 24th May

Flo was always left and Jo Jo right in the early day

Flo kept her head fluff for longer :)

By early June they were flapping about up on their nest

Percy and Penny were busy bringing in lots of food for the growing pair

The Pigeons kept on nesting below them.

Looking out on a rainy morning

Peregrines and Pigeons living together :)

Mum taking a well earned break

In late June Jo Jo fell off so we saw her very close, had to sidle round her to get the vergers

They rescused her from the churchyard and popped her back on the roof.

Everything is fascinating when you've grown up on a plank :)

Looking ecclesiastical

So, you flap like this......

Jo Jo getting some lift from a gusty wind - first time I saw her fly a bit.

Mujm bringing food near to tempt the kids into flying

Very unhappy when she ate in front of them and took off without feeding them!

We DEMAND food!

DEMAND!

Better go get it then!

Soon they were flying around after each other :)

Posing at sunset

Penny looking mysterious in a sunbeam

Percy bringing a snack for Flo

Penny trailing around with food daring them to take it off her

Jo Jo Succeeding :)

Thanks for the experience Peregrine family :)
