I have been putting off posting this, but it explains why the webcam was offline for a long while.
Very sad to say that the new female peregrine that chased off the one that laid the eggs attacked and killed two of the fledgelings, and attacked a third. The third was rescued and is being looked by an avian vet, the other is also okay and is being looked after.
Apparently it is unheard of for any adult peregrine to attack a youngster, even one that is not its own. So the Hawk and Owl trust stepped in to save the other two.
So very sad ....
