The first, precious, red egg of the 2016 breeding season arrived in the nest box today.
The female falcon is expected to lay another three eggs, one every four hours.
If all goes well, then the chicks will hatch in about 30 to 33 days’ time.
Since the platform was set up by the Hawk and Owl Trust in 2011, an average of four chicks have been born each year, with a 50pc survival rate.
The Hawk and Owl Trust’s Watchpoint, which attracts more than 30,000 people each year to observe the birds in Cathedral Close, will open on Wednesday.
*I think it should be every three to four days from memory?
