A very wet morning, so my ride was delayed until late afternoon. Just as I arrived at the Peregrine Watch - and spotted a Peregrine over in the 'banana tree' - the heavens opened. I saw it coming! I dodged in under one of the nearby Holme Oaks, and was joined by a couple of squirrels, and a jogger! A Crow immersed itself nearly completely in a large puddle at the side of the road, evidently enjoying a bath - and ridding itself of feather mites. I understand that Peregrines like a daily bath, but I have never seen this. Do they use the Avon? When I returned to the Watch after the rain passed, the Peregrine had also moved on.
