Went to the shop this morning & decided to look in on 'our' peregrine nest site on the way home. The hen was there, sitting. Not a very good photo but the best my little camera can do with the distance. Then a coastguard helicopter came into the tiny bay to do some training. She got up and turned round and I could see she has a minimum of 2 gorgeous mottled chocolate-brown eggs - sadly I missed them with the camera. She's always managed to raise 2 or 3 chicks every year, even when she changed partners a couple of years ago. Didn't see the male this morning.

Wow, I've only ever seen them from a distance flying at Symonds Yat. I'm told there is a breeding pair on a church in Cheltenham but I've never been lucky enough to see them.

Nip down to Cornwall & I'll show you where they are...

How very kind, I'm waiting for delivery of our new van (mid May) but once its arrived and snags sorted I would love to.

Thanks Alan.

On the way back from the postbox about 4 pm today & heard the classic peregrine screech. 3 of them, probably from this same nest (same brood or a later one???) But almost certainly from this scrape. Not good photos so I'll put them all up.

My best yet
