New this season is a camera with a wide angle view, suitable for all devices. (So the web site states.)
Unfortunately the orientation of its current mounting seems to allow rain drops to remain within the field of view. At a quick glance it is possible to miss seeing the falcon due to the distorted view . . .

Oops, sorry. I've now done that twice! :paperbag:

To think I used to live literally just out of shot to the right, sigh!

Perhaps we could ask for the camera to be swiveled a few degrees clockwise? ;)

Today, Mrs Norwich Falcon was observed performing some housekeeping duties (just like her cousin at Nottingham, earlier this week) which entailed bug removal and the creation of a saucer-shaped depression in the gravel.
-
Thanks b*cat - Ive added the link to your first post.
Today's the first chance Ive had to check in and view them, so thank you for posting some of the screen caps. There's not much happening right now other than an empty nest.. and it looks and sounds awfully windy in Norwich right now.
-
Earlier today the new camera was inspected . . .
-
Good screen cap there b*cat. Thank you for sharing :)
-
Unlike the cousins at Nottingham, there is/are currently no egg(s) laid or imminent . . .
-
I've finally seen one of the falcons burakkucat - I've been looking everyday since you posted and haven't managed to see one but today I was lucky.

-
There must now be, at least, one egg --
-
and so there is :)
That must have been laid today, because I checked late last night and it was a totally empty scrape and no sign of either parent.
-
Still just the one (in daylight) --
-
Earlier today I managed to see that there are now two eggs --
-
:thumbs:
-
And today there are three! :)
-
According to the site Norwich now also have 4

Cant see much tonight, she's tuckered in & being battered by a howling wind
-
Just watched Mr & Mrs NorwichP do a change over shift.
The new parent in charge was awfully noisy about it and took a long time inspecting and even turning over one of the eggs before settling.
He's still making a lot of noise now, wonder what he's so unsettled about.
-
Could it be that one of the eggs is emitting vibrations, as hatching is possibly imminent? :-\
-
Earlier today I saw three hungry hatchlings being fed some freshly caught pigeon and one egg that will probably, now, not hatch.
-
Ive not visited for a few days so wonder when they started hatching.
It looks like you may have possibly been correct about one of the eggs emitting vibrations and imminent hatching.
I cant seem to find any dates of the hatchings except someone saying at this morning (https://twitter.com/MikeHoit/status/592982807099629568) (10:22) there were 2 chicks, so no 3 must have been sometime after that. Therefore possibly still hope for no 4 :fingers:
-
I've just had a quick look and they all are "tucked in", including the un-hatched egg, for the night --
-
4th chick hatched today (well 30th April)
Good vid of the chicks

:clap:
-
Four balls of fluff, tucked safely into the corner . . .
-
Feeding time --
-
The young like to tuck themselves away in the corner nearest to the camera and so are not often seen --
-
On Saturday it appeared that someone decided to inspect the camera . . .
-
On Sunday the hatchlings had spread out and were not huddled together --
-
Thanks for the updates b*cat. Not had chance to visit the cams myself the past week or so, so appreciate the updates :)
-
Today was rather rainy in East Anglia and the chicks huddled together in the corner nearest to the camera with Mrs Falcon acting as a shield --
-
"Any food for us?"
-
No food in that beak? :(
-
Having dismantled a pigeon (leaving the feathers to blow in the wind) the young huddle together for a nap whilst the parent watches over them --
-
Thanks b*cat, just checked them out. Still all huddled in a corner, with some bloody remains and bones left in the centre of the scrape. Looks like the parents are feeding them well as they are growing so fast. Not as progressed as Nottingham yet whose adult feathers are coming through already.
-
When I checked earlier this afternoon there was just one of the young visible, napping after a feed of pigeon --
-
Earlier this afternoon two of the young were visible, one snoozing, one very attentive to the surroundings --
-
Were they just hiding?
-
They can "tuck in" to the two recesses either side of the central stonework and, thus, not be visible to the camera. :)
Here's a night-time view --
-
ahhh thanks b*cat. I did have a quick peep when I posted earlier, but all I could see was chest feathers and a bird's face stuck in front of the camera.
-
Early this afternoon three of the four were visible --
-
Three of the four --
-
Adult feathers starting to come through. I always think they look funny at that stage :D

A snapshot of the cathedral tower, with the viewing station in the foreground. If you click the thumbnail and go to the full sized image you can just about see the nesting platform on the right one of the two smaller windows towards the top of the tower.

Just above the pointer in the image I've attached, below --

Looking earlier this afternoon, just three of the young were visible. I know there were four eggs and then four hatchlings. I am beginning to wonder if only three have survived . . .
-
Thanks Floydy for the photo and bcat for the pointer :)

There certainly were 4 and I just sat watching the cams for several mins and I could only see three, but they were huddling a bit so difficult to count from the camera angle.
So I checked their blog and it appears that the smallest one died at the beginning of May - ]linky (http://upp.hawkandowl.org/youngest-of-norwich-peregrine-chicks-dies/). :(

So my suspicion was correct. :(

I just happened to be walking past - I live about a quarter of a mile away from the cathedral.
-
Lined up in a row, preening their feathers in the mid-morning sun . . .
-
hahaha. they look like they are posing for the camera.
*Say cheese*
-
Earlier this afternoon there was a lot of screaming for food, followed by flapping of wings and jumping up & down. One of the young hopped onto the edge, flapped her/his wings and looked over the side . . . It seemed as if take-off was about to occur. After thinking about it, s/he turned around and faced the safety of the nest-site.
-
Will soon be flying . . .
-
And then there was just one . . .
-
And then there was none . . .
-
Good luck to them :fingers:
-
Yesterday afternoon a visitor stopped by at her/his place of birth . . .
-
That's lovely to see.
-
Earlier this afternoon a pigeon was plucked and dismantled . . .
-
Is that one of the youngsters :)
-
To me, it certainly looked like one. :)
