July 2018 Tewkesbury Abbey Peregrine chick growing well

These birds have failed to breed in previous years.  This year they laid three eggs.  One got cracked and one chick died as the parents did not bring in food immediately, or at least quickly enough.  This last chick seems to be growing really well and developing at a pace.  I suppose it would getting access to all the food brought in.   It is still good odds if this one fledges and makes it to become an adult.

Guarding the precious chick.
Next year the pair will be all  the more experienced.
