Apparently the pigeon won - the peregrine was later seen sulking on the South Brooks!

With up to 3 peregrines hunting over the reserve at the moment you've a great chance of seeing more of this sort of scene re-enacted.  It seems amazing that the fastest bird in the world sometimes struggles to catch its dinner but more often than not, the hunting attempts fail.

Thanks to Gareth Hughes for the fantastic action shot!

Gareth also sent through these stunning photos of a pair of stonechat.

Almost forgot to mention that the great grey shrike has been seen again today - this time from Hanger viewpoint.
