The Local Peregrines

A rather exciting time was had this afternoon, and surprisingly close to home.

We have confirmed the location of a Peregrine Falcon eyrie, and both adults were regularly showing well, flying overhead and perched near the chicks.


One of the adults was being exceptionally vocal- and both were most happy to dive bomb the nearby corvids, who just screamed back at them!





Not sure which crop I prefer, no doubt I will remove one of these in the near future.



A number of perches are evident, with some looking more comfortable than others!

This shall obviously be a site for regular visits, although there may be limitations on site access (safety) in the evenings, which may rule out weekday visits.
