Successful Season…!!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone now the open days are over. A very successful season let’s hope our two beautiful peregrines go on to live healthy long lives. To celebrate my favourite photograph of the season. Two bits of information for you .
Next year is the 25th anniversary of the Peregrines so we intend to make it special…!!
The nest cameras will be turned off very soon as the birds no longer go there now they have fledged.
We will do our best to keep you informed of their progress.
I hope you have all enjoyed the season as much as we have….!!!

Extraordinary….!!

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 ….!!!

Food Pass and Tumbling…!!

Flying together AR and AS doing really well , landing can still be a challenge but they are learning fast. Open days continue at the Cathedral on the south east lawn until 6th July. Please come and see them as they learn all the tricks of the trade.

Extraordinary Couple of 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…!!!
