The peregrines have been showing particularly well this week with food being brought to the cliffs daily.
On several occassions during the warmer weather the male and female have been perched in view together offering the chance for size comparison which was fantastic!
On Saturday morning the early risers were treated to awesome views as the male struggled to bring in a ferel pigeon and was forced to land in the field opposite the rock, allowing us to focus the telescopes on the female bird who ate, whilst the male protected the kill from inquisitive buzzards. At the same time a female sparrowhawk was showing beautifully over our heads. What a day!
The star bird this week was an escaped turkey which has been thrilling visitors and staff a like! Quite unusual!
Several marsh tits have been showing well too.
We are all getting ready for our Dawn Chorus next week - if you would to join us on the 3rd at Symonds Yat then give us a ring on 01594 833057 to book. It starts quite early so be prepared!
