A glorious day at Dove Stone with prolonged views of the peregrines on offer. It was confirmed yesterday that the pair are raising 3 chicks which looked in very good condition, so we can hope for some increased activity over the next few weeks.
Other birds around Ashway Gap included a kestrel, pied wagtail (with young), grey wagtail, magpie, mistle thrush, meadow pipit, dipper and mallard.
There have also been reports of a ring ouzel in the Yeoman Hey area.
Also of note is the great progress by staff and volunteers on the new path through Pennyworth Wood.
