Title: Norwich Cathedral Spire Falcons
Post by: burakkucat on March 20, 2017, 07:42:57 PM: It is that time of the year, once again. One egg has been laid, to date.

Here is the link (http://upp.hawkandowl.org/norwich-peregrines/norwich-cathedral-peregrine-live-web-cam-2017/) to the site from which you can choose the webcam image to view.

I think you have your wrong glass's on !. :-\ or maybe your cats whiskers have got in your eyes ;D.
