Still no news of ZNT. But things are progressing between Azina and Odin. For the first time today he's joined her in the box for a courtship display. Admittedly it's only at the entrance but it's a start.

No news of ZNT today. Some of us looked in the area she was last in but if she can fly she really could be anywhere. To give an idea of where she was seen, I've taken shots from the zoom camera and marked it with an arrow. She then flew to the right.

@WanderingFalcon We were unfortunately not so lucky…

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

This was ZNT last night. I still haven’t found her. I suspect she has been rescued but calls to local vets and rescues have proved unsuccessful so far. People are looking for her locally.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

ZNT update: She’d actually flown off last night, over the railway tracks, which is why we couldn’t find her. I will put more notices in the area tomorrow, but she could have gone anywhere… She must be rather hungry by now, unless Azina managed to feed her before she left.

@WanderingFalcon Dad went missing 7 weeks ago. The new male attacked her.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

@WanderingFalcon Azina is waiting for her at the hospital but ZNT was about a mile away from there so, no, unfortunately, she won’t 🙁

@lobswife Hammersmith Grove.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

I have had a report of ZNT on Hammersmith Grove! Looking for her now but we can’t find her at the moment.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

@VocalTutorSheff Unfortunately no.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

ZNT had a good day over the ledge then on the East side until she lost her footing while walking. She struggled to land. Then Odin attacked her 3 times and we lost her from view in the quadrant below the ledge. We haven’t been able to find her since.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

@KPeregrines Not yet.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

In the meantime Odin has started to take possession of the ledge and perched there with Azina for a very long time. They've also almost had two courtship displays in the box. Azina has started doing to maintenance (they've always done that when the chicks fledge).

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

I haven't been able to find ZNT this morning. And I've looked in a lot of places. I'm going to keep on looking but you can help if you are at the hospital by looking at the lower roofs and on the balconies around the building.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

@KPeregrines I’d hoped that with a new male and a female chick things could be different. Tom was attacking his chicks too so it was a bit of a deja vu…

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

@KPeregrines It’ll be easier but she was finding shade on the ledge (maybe she’d have gone earlier if not…)

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

ZNT fledged at 5:19 this morning. A strong deliberate flight. I managed to find her on the roof on the other side from the ledge a bit after.

FledgeWatch Day 5
Still waiting... It was a hot day. She sat on the wall for a lot of the morning and stayed out of view of the watchers for a lot of the afternoon. She looks ready at times then thinks back on it.

[FaB Peregrines @FaBPeregrines]

FledgeWatch Day 4
We waited. She slept. She flapped. She didn't fledge. She got plenty of food, not like the previous day...
