Description:
A tiny chick has hatched from one of four eggs laid by peregrine falcons nesting on the University of Leeds’ Parkinson Tower this week. <br/>This year, the birds of prey have laid four eggs. So far, one chick hatched after a month-long incubation period.<br/>This year’s female falcon is identified as ‘7.H’ by the ring on her leg, through which we know that she hatched in Stoke-on-Trent six years ago, while the male – known as a tiercel - is unfortunately not ringed. <br/>Michael Howroyd, sustainability projects officer and biodiversity programme lead at The University of Leeds, said: “It’s wonderful to see the safe arrival of a peregrine chick here at Leeds today. The University is continually working to shape and support biodiversity on campus and it is great to see that we are a valuable urban location for wildlife to thrive.”

_korea39s-5-richest-billionaires-2024.webp "Although South Korea’s benchmark Kospi index was one of the worst performers in Asia last year, it rebounded in 2024 fueled by investor frenzy over AI and the government’s $470 billion plan with the private sector to make the country a global chip production hub. The Kospi’s 11% rise, since we last measured fortunes 12 months ago, lifted the collective net worth of the country’s 50 richest to $115 billion from $106 billion.<br/><br/>This list was compiled using shareholding and financial information obtained from the families and individuals, stock exchanges, annual reports, analysts, government agencies and other sources. Net worths were based on stock prices and exchange rates as of the close of markets on April 2, 2024 and private companies were valued based on similar companies that are publicly traded. Real-time net worths on Forbes.com may reflect different valuations.

Only the disciple Xu Yang, the founder of the mountain, has been in the Qi refining period. In order to break through his cultivation base and ascend as soon as possible, Xu Yang retreated for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, when he left the gate, the realm of comprehension had already declined, and there were only three or five disciples left in the Misty Sky Sect. Seeing that the sect was about to be wiped out, Xu Yang repelled the powerful enemy and vowed to lead the Misty Sky Sect back to its peak! With the expansion of Tianlanzong’s power, the truth of Xu Yang’s stagnant cultivation was revealed step by step. For thousands of years, a secret that penetrated the three realms of humans, demons, and immortals was also revealed to everyone! Does one thought become a god, or one thought becomes a demon? The life and death of the world are in the palm of Xu Yang!<br/>")
