Good morning, all, and welcome to the new year's thread! Let's see what this year will bring for Swift and Beau.
I'm happy to say that Swift is gracing the box with her presence:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Happy New Year to Scylla, Clare, Limpy, Wendy and any lurkers! Thanks so much for continuing to post photos and reports of these Perries! Fingers crossed for another season...
Kind regards, Ann
Woo Hoo, Scylla! Perhaps they turned off the sound to protect our ears - that's quite a racket.
Nice to see you, Ann - these lovely peregrines are a pleasure to watch.
Beau appeared very briefly on the ledge and flew off almost immediately.
Woo Hoo! We have a bird:
Letting breakfast go down:
Awwww, Clare, lovely photo of snoozing Peregrine!
I'm pretty sure it's Swift. I've yet to see Beau dozing in the box.

Yes, Clare, And that is her favourite corner. As for deadly, it is also always such a delight to see these deadly predators being so gentle when feeding their youngsters.
I'm off to snooze myself now--goodnight!
