Dave Farmer is a regular photographer of our birds and earlier this week he spent three hours down at the Cathedral watching them and taking photos.
He wrote:
"I arrived at 11.50am. At 1.45 action ensued.
The male was perched on the right hand lead rain spout looking quite relaxed.

He left suddenly to chase away a second female which he did really easily.
Whilst he was doing that the "real" (resident) female took up station on the nest platform. She was continually scanning the sky.

As this was my first visit this year, I don't know if mating has taken place but I think the odds are that it has."
Thanks so much Dave!
