A very happy New Year to the lovely peregrines as well as Cilla and Scott! Diamond is on the ledge:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Thanks, Scylla, for the Trio Bald Eagle info.
Limpy, your snaps clearly show the size difference between males and females. Those two do look eager to get out and explore. Hope both fledge successfully.
Kind regards, Ann
Sharing a tiny scrap, for fun :)
IMAGICAT
Evening meal just delivered by Xav, I think Marragaay got it, Bali is indignant.
More from Cilla:
Early morning:
2m09s
I think this was Marragaay leaping back and forth like a woman possessed ;)
Much earlier - a tug-o-scrap, which Marragaay won:
Not so long ago, Bali had a poop over the ledge like a grown-up:
Then a lie-down:
There was a marvellous tussle over a rosella or similar larger bird, which Marragaay won, but she ended up deliberately passing it to Bali!
This is to remind me to do a vid but I'm too tired at the mo. G'night :)

You be the judge, but I'm insisting that her motherly instincts took over ;)
Another little highlight - Xav (I think) brought in a starling (probably) and let it fall over the ledge!)
