Thank you for your response. I...To Project Member<br /><br />Thank you for your response. I understand what you are saying and the views we get of the Peregrines on the ledge are magnificent. I was thinking more of one of the nest cameras but perhaps they have non-rotating "heads". <br /><br />This is my first year here and I have so enjoyed seeing the peregrines. I shall most certainly be watching for the next few weeks and definitely be back next year.

Another fight on my hands with mega bad trolls - the badger issue. I fear a one sided argument coming up on "Countryfile" on the telly tomorrow.
