We have been very fortunate this year to have had a pair of Peregrines remain with us beyond the winter months. They can often be seen perched up on the pylons and the guys on reception will be able to tell you the best ones to check when you next visit! In the last couple of months we have seen them catch Black-headed Gulls, Coot, Moorhen and Starlings. The other week we even saw both birds on the same pylon with a different prey item each that they were dismembering. Great stuff!
Dave Morrison got some great shots last weekend and if you wish
This is our heavily marked female
and this is the dapper male.
Dave Morrison is Mr Peregrine in the London area and has done a huge amount over the years to help this species to prosper in the area. You may have seen him on Autumnwatch with Chris Packham up on the Houses of Parliament! Do check out his own blog at http://parliamentperegrinediary.blogspot.com/
