Doesn't look great. There's been licences given to remove a small number of Peregrine chicks for Falconry, maybe that's the reason but unlikely

A lot of eggs have been pinched too elsewhere in the country. Its normally around this time of year I start seeing them with chicks diving off a pylon

Didn't realise that sort of thing was still rife
Must be an impressive sight

They are impressive but that call isn't something you want to wake up too
Bit more hopeful now, mummy and daddy peregrine were eating a nice parakeet breakfast in the pylon when mummy flew off in answer to a distant call.
Edit, at least 4 in the group, possibly 5

A Bearded Vulture roosting in the Peak District National Park Derbyshire apparently! 10ft wingspan, bigger than a Golden Eagle, must be an impressive sight

Just seen it mate, on my way to the peak district, it's over ladybower reservior. Birdies everywhere!
Buzzard near it, looks like a sparrow lol
Like a pair of wings with a body, massive

Not sure mate, believe they come from the alps???, 100s of birdwatchers all over the roads with their spotting scopes and binoculars. Certainly drawn a lot of interest though. Was around this area most of the day it was there just circling
I wonder if they take sheep though because there are thousands all over the moors

Those White tailed eagles from the breeding program on the Isle of Wight are something else! Must be impressive to see

Who's doing the big bird watch this weekend?
Might try and talk my youngest into it.
