FalconCam – Day 24

Today’s video from the Nottingham Trent university Peregrine Falcon webcam.

The chicks are really growing quickly, they are no roughly 24 days old and their darker feathers are now really starting to show through.

All we need now is some good footage of the peregrines snacking on some pigeons and this week will be off to [...]

Just starting to play with wordpress with my new hosting.

JustHost.com seems ok so far, the lack of the ability to configure a catch-all account forĀ  email is a little annoying but I can live with it for now.
