Gosh, if so, it's been there for ages and must surely be a bit whiffy by now, to say the least. But maybe it's just the lining of the scrape showing, as previously explained by the team, but if not, you'd think either Mr or Mrs P would have removed it by now. It will probably remain there now ( mummified! ) until the scrape is cleaned, but would be interested to know why none of the family chose to eat it at the time.<br /><br /> <br />Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318770820387442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-53134805592711229302015-08-08T20:37:33.685+01:002015-08-08T20:37:33.685+01:00Oh Sue, you're such a trooper! Those of us who...Oh Sue, you're such a trooper! Those of us who know you ( via this blog ) know just how dedicated you are in helping ALL forms of wildlife, especially you're beloved peri's. And if anyone deserves to see a wild Hen Harrier, then it's you! Hope you had a great day today ( lovely weather for the meet this year at least! ) and fingers crossed, you WILL see your Hen Harrier one day soon.<br /><br />This summer has found me soooo very busy and unfortunately no break to drive up to a Derby watch point, but still intend to do so at some point. I'm so exhausted when I get home from Cornwall ( restoration work at Mums, with builders all over the place + lots of garden re-development keeping me attached to mi shovel - been through two so far! ) ) that when I get back home to Plymouth in the evenings, I just have time for a quick check-in before I fall fast asleep, but nearly always find one of the birds in cam view, which is nice. One there right now in fact, and usually always one sleeping over on the tower after dark.<br /><br />BFN good buddy :)<br /><br /> Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17318770820387442456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-41561334671217789272015-08-07T18:25:03.166+01:002015-08-07T18:25:03.166+01:00Really excited, setting out for Buxton tomorrow. ...Really excited, setting out for Buxton tomorrow. Heartbreaking that people who care about the natural world have to do this sort of thing but it feels good to be able to be with like minded people and feel that we're doing something practical about it. I STILL haven't added Hen Harriers to my "life list", I hope they don't become extinct before that happens. If it does, not only is my life list ruined but that life becomes all the more impoverished for ALL of us. I wouldn't mind if we had a biblical flood on the day if I could share the blessed Mr Packham's umbrella but I'm not sure he'd offer that to an old bird like me! He did sign my T shirt last year so maybe there's hope. :)<br />I still count myself so lucky to have seen real live wild peregrine falcons (my first ever at Derby) so maybe I'll get lucky and see a HH one day.<br />Sue Hetheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083609959430781367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-6251614962366498012015-08-07T05:13:44.316+01:002015-08-07T05:13:44.316+01:00Looks like Mr P on the scrape edge again.

If it is you can always ask to share Chris Packham's umbrella:)<br /><br />I've signed Mark Avery's petition to ban Driven Ground Shooting so hope some more of us "peregriners" will join me - it would be marvellous to see the Hen Harrier improve in numbers as our peregrines are slowly doing (but of course they're lucky to have Cathedrals etc. to nest on).<br />.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-88198020526252457792015-08-04T23:38:59.990+01:002015-08-04T23:38:59.990+01:00Just reading the project team's diary entry at...Just reading the project team's diary entry at the top of these comments and wanted to say that yes, I'm one of the volunteers who is going along to the Hen Harrier Action Events. I'm absolutely passionate about the plight of these raptors and hope that I actually see one one day and that they're not made extinct before I succeed. I'm passionate about all of our wonderful natural environment ..... and what's not to like about Chris Packham too!<br />Fingers crossed for a fine day this time, last year we almost drowned in the tail end of Hurricane Bertha.Sue Hetheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083609959430781367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-14145268173781585162015-08-04T12:17:10.847+01:002015-08-04T12:17:10.847+01:00Congrats on stream 4 working again, although Mr P ...Congrats on stream 4 working again, although Mr P seems to be inhabiting the pigeons' nest lately.
