New photos of our birds, that old egg and two talks on peregrines

Last week, regular photographer Dave Farmer took some excellent photos of the falcons from the ground and they are well worth sharing:

And just to be clear: the egg you can see on the webcams is an addled egg from last year and not a new 2024 egg. We hope to remove it and clean up the platform before any eggs are laid this spring.

Wendy Bartter is putting almost daily videos of the birds on YouTube and the links to them are in the comments to each blog post.
Find those she has made in the last few weeks in comments to the previous blog post entry by scrolling down and new videos in comments to this post.
Coming up are two talks by the authors of a new book on The Peregrine Falcon, Richard Sale & Steve Watson. One is in Buxton on 9th March and the other in Derby on 22nd March
