All going well peregrines everywhere on a bright blustery day.

Peregrines mating on the Cathedral Spire

Although there is no picture we saw both peregrines at the Cathedral today and witnessed them mating twice …..this would appear to be quite early but is very normal…..they also seemed very interested in a sight they normally use as a larder and went no where near the nest turret!, Too slow for a mating shot…..or rather unprepared but a lovely flying shot to start the season!!

Peregrine flying

In the sunshine this afternoon just one peregrine on the cathedral – a very well fed peregrine!!

A stretch in the afternoon sun

It may of been cold but both of the Peregrines were resident in the sunshine on Saturdsy afternoon . The picture is of the female they were sitting quite close to one another as well.
