It seems that the east coast is ahead of us this year with razorbill chicks already at Bempton Cliffs, whereas we don't even seem to have eggs yet. We can usually tell if there are eggs around because broken egg shells start turning up on the roads where herring gulls have dropped them. Come on razors, get a move on!
It's gone a bit quiet on the peregrine front in the last couple of weeks. This year they are not using their usual nesting spot, and I haven't found any evidence of another nest, so let's hope they are still around and have managed to find a really well hidden place to nest. Last year their eggs were predated, so it is was a pretty sensible decision to move. I'll be keeping an eye out for them over the next few weeks, as June is the month for surveying the seabirds, and I will regularly be out and about on the cliffs.
