Well just two more open days and what a ride it’s been. Having watched the birds since 2001 today was the first time ever I watched the female peregrine Successfully killing a pigeon just 40 ft away from our tent. Extraordinary …..meanwhile the youngsters are flying so well playing together and taking prey from their parents in the air. I know the weather is not so good this weekend but come and see us if you can on the last two days….weve loved being able to share the views with you all while we’ve been doing the open days ….!!!

Extraordinary Couple of days both Fledged emotions everywhere as nothing quite went to plan but some magic moments as well . Landing up in the gutter, landing on the travel lodge , crashing into the Cathedral and the stain glass windows….paying a visit to the lantern , it was all there ….finally landing on the south west turret for the night . Today they were difficult to find brief glimpses of chaos and then disappeared completely high wind did not help we think they went to ground in the sanctuary of the south west turret out both wind and in the sunshine ….here’s hoping that’s the case…!!!
