Canada Square Peregrine report 20120507
I saw Stormin fly onto the nest ledge and disappear to the back. There was a bit of vocalizing and he then flew out and up to the top of the furthest *upright/wall* south of the nest.
Ten minutes later Haven flew out and joined him. She appeared to have a quick bite to eat, flew to the middle *upright/wall* and then back to the the furthest one before turning and flying right back to the nest ledge. She was off the nest for just a minute.
When she was back on the nest ledge I heard her give her *chuk-chuk-chuk* call and disappear to the back.
A minute after that Stormin called and flew to the nest ledge. A minute later he flew off the nest ledge and landed one ledge over on the ledge below the nest height. He appeared to be eating something and called again.
There were a couple of more calls and then he flew onto the nest ledge and disappeared to the back. Three minutes later he flew off the nest ledge and onto the middle *upright/wall*. When I left an hour later he was still perched in the same spot all puffed up against the cold and the wind.
This behaviour seemed a little different from usual. I did not see food going into the nest ledge but did not have the binoculars up when they flew onto the ledge. Bruce will check on them tomorrow to see if there may be a hatchling or not.
