This week we were really hoping to report some great news about the peregrine pair but frustratingly we are still waiting for the eggs to hatch. They should have hatched a few days ago but there are no signs of the parents bringing in food for the chicks.

Luckily, a hobby lifted everyone’s spirits on Tuesday (12th) when it was seen hawking insects over the River Wye. We hope that this superb little falcon will become a regular sight at 'the rock' throughout the summer.

Other raptors that have been making regular appearances this week include a pair of goshawks, sparrowhawks, buzzards, a kestrel and of course our peregrines.
