Just got feedback from the hospital. Yes, the female is incubating but she is right under the camera so it’s a bad angle to see there are eggs just not sure how many.
Bruce and Canada Square security did a check on Haven’s nest today and can confirm 3 eggs for sure. Security got a photo of 3 eggs on March 29th and Today she was staying very tight to the eggs so there is a possibility of 4.
Hi Marion - Just to advise number two was laid this morning - fingers crossed for three and four? Marlene
1st - April 2 2nd - April 4
the second egg was laid sometime overnight.
It’s 4 eggs for Holden and Nagata!!! I’ve been watching our resident pair all winter (they liked to perch on the building I work in, so I saw them most mornings when I arrived). As they are unbanded, there is no way of definitely IDing them, but as I’ve seen them since last summer, I’m fairly confident it’s the same pair. There has been lots of activity at the building, with the Sony sign coming down (so sad… All the peregrines at this site have loved that sign!) and then the window washer was there for awhile, I was a touch worried that this relatively new pair might be spooked off, but no, they just waited. I saw mating over 10 days ago and then observed just one peregrine at a time shortly after. And as I saw an exchange last Thursday, I knew I had to get up there to confirm… And last night, I got my son to come with me and we found 4 eggs!! They both spotted us immediately and told us in no uncertain terms to leave.. And we did. Hatch watch will start in about 3 weeks… Can’t wait!
Before the season starts, I just want to say a proper goodbye to another one of our resident peregrines, Mystery. He was a great mate to Quest since 2016. They had 22 successful hatches and fledges(tho some were lost after). He was a great Dad, taught his young well, looked out for them, fed them and was always on the alert! He was famous for his many, many alarm calls, which his young picked up quickly and were known to join in on the calls lol. I loved watching their interactions… He would try so hard to get egg time and then try to look after or feed the kids but Quest would only give him small amounts of time… It was so funny and cute. He will be missed
Screen shot from today. the pair is on site but no eggs yet.
The first egg has been laid over the weekend at William Osler Hospital.
