Charlie and Tom (The Other Male) have 3 eggs now - if they haven't hatched yet they are about to.

Learned all about the pair and the setting up of the cam and nest at the London Bird Fair.

Also the other great cam is the City fox live cam

- just now

This camera is streaming live images of a pair of Peregrine Falcons who share most of their time between Fulham (in particular Charing Cross Hospital) and Barnes (London Wetland Centre). Charlie is the falcon and was the first one to settle in 2007. Tom is the tiercel (male).
Location: London, UK

How to identify the difference between the falcon (female) and the tiercel (male) - The falcon is larger than the tiercel and has a ring on each leg. The tiercel has not been ringed.

This is the garden the fox family visit.

Wildlife Whisperer aka Simon King Cams - Page 5 Mwsna100

No one around at the moment but I asked Gill (whose garden it is) what happens during the day, she said often the foxes/cubs are sleeping under the shed, so definitely one to check out from time to time.

The web cam page has a bit of information on the 4 main characters in the fox family.

Just read about the little fox family Lai and I am really excited about them all and love the names they have.
I have tried to watch the cam but it just keeps whiring and not opening. I notice it says JWplayer, do you need to have this downloaded to your pc to watch the cam?

Ummmmmmm - problem is Littlewid I have no idea. I seem to be able to watch all the cams with no problems. I think WS will have to answer that for you .......

Just checked it now and it's whirring for me too - so maybe a problem there not with us. Peregrine cam is working fine and that's the same set up.

Lai

**littlewid** Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:31 pm

Hopefully as it's whirring for you too Lai there isn't a problem, I will check out the Peregrine cam and see how that goes and fingers crossed the fox cam will be ok.

for the links, photos and info Lai - there's just not enough hours in a day to keep up with everything at the moment !! Laughing

**Laikipia** Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:36 pm

Doogs. These cams are taking over ..................

Lai

**littlewid** Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:36 pm

Must be the cam Lai as yes the Peregrine cam is just fine. Looks like it's pouring with rain there too.

That's good to know Littlewid, I mean about the cam not the rain! We're lucky today, dry at the moment Very Happy

Lai

**littlewid** Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:38 pm

Totally feel for the Peregrine as it's teaming down here today. Will check out the fox cam again later today.

**littlewid** Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:20 pm

Same picture that you had earlier Lai but at least I can see it and it means the cam is streaming again so you will be able to see it as well.
I wonder if dusk is a good time to try and see the foxes?

I would guess so Littlewid, maybe also first thing in the morning while all is quiet. Just had a look now and no one is around.

Latest from the Peregrine cam is not long now until the first hatching ... Very Happy

- a pip on one of the eggs cheers

Lots of activity with either Tom or Charlie moving the eggs round.

**Laikipia** Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:44 pm

They've hatched Wildlife Whisperer aka Simon King Cams - Page 5 71418

............ and I missed it What a Face

Lai

**whitestarling** Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:28 pm

Thats great news lai. Ca'nt see much at the moment either Charlie or Tom are settled on the nest, but there's a lot of noise like young and I could just see a glimpse of an egg. Normaly here are one, or two days beteen eggs hatching to give the first hatched the best chance of surviving

**Laikipia** Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:38 pm

Definitely all 3 have hatched WS - i've been following the latest updates on the righthand side of the screen and it said all 3 were just getting their first feed .... can't wait to see them.

Lai

just now

3 bundles of fluff

**whitestarling** Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:20 pm

That was quick did'nt expect all 3 to come at the same time. You've really got the timing right on this cam, it took me ages to get a clear shot of the pip on Dekorah Eagles eggs, and now you've got the little ones as well. Well Done
WS

**Doogs** Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:35 pm

Are you sure they are birds Lai and not bits of cotton wool ??? lol!

Great to see all the eggs have hatched Wildlife Whisperer aka Simon King Cams - Page 5 71418

Doogs.

All quiet on the nest just now. Not sure whether it's Charlie or Tom sitting on them. Still seems to be pouring down with rain.

Lai

**whitestarling** Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:34 am

It's still pelting down, but it seems to be out of the wind, which is good. I do'nt know if they are under a overhang of some sort, but there does'nt seem to be any raindrops landing on the parent. It's difficult to tell who's on, The female is larger, but unless you see them together its hard to judge. The other give away is that the female is ringed, and the male is'nt, but again if they are on the chicks you cant see the legs scratch

**littlewid** Wed Apr 25, 2012 2:35 pm

How lovely that they have all hatched together. I have just had a peek in and it's still pouring with rain and either Tom or Charlie is keeping the chicks warm, as WS says it's hard to see who it is becuase they have their back to the camera and legs underneath them. Will try and remember to check again later.
Thanks for letting us know the good news about the hatchings Lai.

littlewid-x-

**Laikipia** Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:44 pm

WS they are in a sort of man made box so they are sheltered. The box was cleaned out before Charlie laid the eggs so it was all clean from last year.
