Wednesday 6th June

A glorious morning, but with a cool wind from the North. The Peregrine watch was very active with one of the birds soaring around repeatedly. I have heard that there are three chicks, so I'm surprised not to see a ferry service of food items for them. The birds I saw may have been hunting, but it looked more like they were admiring the scenery. The other birds were also very active, a young (tailless) Jackdaw came to within a few feet of me on the fence, then went over to the Jackdaw tree to bother its parents. I could not identify a small butterfly that settled on a branch below me, broad brown edges to its wings, and a dusky yellow wing.
