    Drama at Lincoln Cathedral

    • 0 Comments

    Last weekend the peregrines at Lincoln Cathedral had a lucky escape when one of the young was found on the bonnet of Porsche car.

    After being checked over by staff from a local wildlife hospital, the young peregrine was returned to a ledge just below the nest site on the Cathedral, unharmed from the ordeal.

    All the family are doing well, and are visible from the RSPB viewpoint.

    We are pleased to see that the harrier family has survived the last few days torrential rain intact. The eldest three chicks have passed the three week mark and are now looking quite powerful. The smaller two chicks are also growing up fast.

    Feeding time at the nest has become very exciting as each chick jostles for food.
