The 3 chicks at Parliament on May 24th, ringed on May 14th at 21 days, intend to check on them this weekend as they likely will have fledged.@PaulHawky @harvey_shaun

@BatterseaPwrStn female at 16+, not hunting for herself much now due to having a new male. Both birds continue ledge display often inside the nest box, just a pity she can no longer lay eggs. @BatterseaBrew @BatterseaHighS1
