At the close of today, it appears that the final mortar work to be completed on the south building elevation (the same side of the building where the peregrines have been nesting for the past two years) is the nest ledge itself.
Observations gathered have shown that the contractors doing the work are very quick indeed, as they were able to complete a single section - (top to bottom, end to end, side to side, inside pillar to pillar including the back wall above and below the windows, overhang and ledge base) in less than two hours! This included the time needed to return back to the ground level to get more mortar and return back to the ledge to finish!
Its nice to see that the building management has agreed to hold off doing the actual nest ledge repairs until the very last.
We can expect to see the nest box temporarily removed from the nest ledge so that the contractors can complete the necessary repairs.
Stay tuned……….
