Thank you...Nick Moyes, been in and cleaned Scrape.... note observers below.
So sad to have missed that spectacle!
See it's been mucked up already ... sshhh, don't tell NM! Lol
Oh Good always good to see them return, like most birds I personally find, that if they visit regularly and something intrudes i.e. humans they sit out of sight and watch, and later return without a problem.
Think he brought this new prey in, for her , and after a few bows he flew , ate some and then flew..
All good courting signs for the New Season.

From Derby Diary
"This morning Nick Moyes and I were joined at the top of the tower by Mike Dilger of The One Show fame, Simon Hare, from the BBC's East Midlands Inside Out programme, a cameraman and Alex Rock from Derby Cathedral.The nine minute long piece, essentially about how peregrines nesting in rural quarries and on cliffs are being targeted by chick thieves and how steps need to be taken to catch them, will go out on BBC2 East Midlands region probably in a few weeks time - we'll try to give you as much notice as we can."
Great post & pics, thanks Kate ... hope we get to see the broadcast!
