There have been some amazing scenes outside Derby Cathedral recently with a pair of ravens (which until a week or so ago had never set foot in Derby) have decided they'd like to settle on the top of the tower, and have tried to nest. This rather upsets the peregrines! Tonight at 5pm, in glorious sunshine, both adult peregrines were swooping high in the sky above the tower and were trying unsuccessfully to dislodge the ravens. These are such special things to see, even in the mountains, let alone in the middle of our city. Of course, I stood there in the street, like some dummy, staring up into the sky whilst people walked past me, oblivious to what was going on. Did I care? You bet I didn't!<BR/>May I take the chance to recommend your blog to others, as it's unusual to have a Derbyshire schoolgirl write such interesting blogs as yours?<BR/>It's at http://wildenvironmentalist.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Hi Karen Anne: It might have been me fiddling late last night in the dark that caused changing images you saw! I tried to reset the iris of our camera so that the tower floodnights didn't fool the camera into thinking it was still daylight. It appears to have settled down, whereas the third camera doesn't seem to be tripping over into b&w mode at all at night. Hence the poor picture, I think.Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-23624683616381171152008-03-07T21:09:00.000+00:002008-03-07T21:09:00.000+00:00Thanks for the comment on my blog.
