Some of the regular watchers thinking three could be hatched and the fourth hatching right now 😮

 

 

I thought 2 were hatching right now, but it's difficult to see properly.

After the shuffle around just now, it looks like two eggs are still to hatch.

They've just changed duties.

I spotted 3 chicks, possibly 4?

Now being fed..

Yes,  I've just switched on and parent has brought food.   Clearly saw 4 little chicks.

I thought their were 4. thanks for confirming..

Think they'll have to buy a bigger property, it's going to get a bit cramped in there...

Hopefully one of the chicks will fly off to nest in the new box on Rotherham College.

 

Previous Sheffield Peregrine descendants are now nesting in places like Wakefield and Nottingham, I believe. One once even nested as far away as Durham.

Ha! Ha! Ha!    Last year it was cramped with 3 chicks especially as they grew and started feeding themselves.  There were a few squabbles over food.   There will be fun and games this year with 4 of them.   🤣
