We've been a little quiet over the past few weeks on the blog which reflects the peregrine action that we've been watching (or the lack of it). This time of year is when young would be fledging but as most of you might have guessed, our peregrines failed to produce any chicks again this year!

This year the eggs simply never hatched which is slightly different from what happened last year. The chicks hatched but soon died, presumably due to weather. But could have been anything. Thankfully other peregrine pairs around the area seem to be doing well, so thankfully what’s happened to our pair in an isolated incident.

Thankfully over the past few days we've been getting good views of the male perched up on his favourite rock, obviously thinking about what would have been happening around now, chicks fledging.

Other raptor species have been making appearances over the past few weeks including red kite seen on two dates plus hobby and goshawk.
