I was walking along Beauvale Drive when it flew from the noth going south out of or over Cotmanhay Woods. It was soaring and suddenly found a thermal, quickly rising to several hundred metres and then quartering the sky in a south-westerly direction. I followed it's flight till it was out of sight. I hope I will be believed, as I know a peregrine when I see one, especially as it was so close (50 metres at it's closest). Was it one of the young?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-71916076722973579212007-06-25T20:51:00.000+01:002007-06-25T20:51:00.000+01:00Pleased for them they have gone, hope they will bv...Pleased for them they have gone, hope they will bve safe.

I'm sure they'll be fine - far better than attempting to flap and flop around. On a more serious note, no this weather certainly isn't "normal" for us at this time of the year. Yes, one has to took at long term trends, blah blah blah, ..... but it scares me. I believe it's because of global warming and climate change. We're all pretty much insignificant little individuals, but what we do DOES matter.
