Wednesday 9th April

Click on the picture(s) for a larger view!

Another cold morning with a high, but still flowing tide. A beautiful red-brown Kestrel landed on an ash down below the Peregrine Watch, she swivelled her head round to look over her back as only a bird can, after a few minutes she flew off beneath the cliff and disappeared. The Ravens were soaring up above their nest and then over towards the Suspension Bridge, every now and then they would fly playfully at each other. Love! They also have a curious habit of seeming to 'fold-up' (for want of a better description) when flying. Their chicks are getting large, and bits of black can occasionally be seen above the nest top. Chris Jones sent me this fine picture of one of the Peregrines perched on the cliffs, I guess they must have chicks by now.
