This was yesterday @ 15.20. Lasted about a whole 10-15 seconds! Male was digging scrapes just prior which seemed to get her attention.
Didn't find any more comments D ... didn't think it was so crowded in UK that some feel the need to leave the country?
"These birds may travel widely outside the nesting season—their name means "wanderer." Though some individuals are permanent residents, many migrate. Those that nest on Arctic tundra and winter in South America fly as many as 15,500 miles in a year. Yet they have an incredible homing instinct that leads them back to favored aeries. Some nesting sites have been in continuous use for hundreds of years, occupied by successive generations of falcons."
