7 September

Three pergerines late afternoon around St.James – our two adults, plus a ringed bird, which looked like a sub-adult (so a 2024 youngster). They all interacted and put on quite a display, before flying off north-west.

7 August

The adult female returned to the church this evening. We were alerted to her arrival by the male calling from high on the spire around 19.00. She flew in and perched a few crockets below her partner. First time we've seen them together for almost a month.

6 August

XVT turned up early evening for a screech. No other adults or juveniles were around to respond.

30 July

The adult male joined XTT in chasing a woodpigeon that the juvenile had flushed from the lower walkway, south side. They flew low through our garden, with the pigeon escaping by diving into the large yew tree in the neighbouring Mansion House garden.

29 July

After a couple of days of silence, with the juveniles thought to be moving away, XTT turned up this morning and sat quietly on the lower walkway, south side. The adult male was also present, but his partner hasn't been seen since early July.

15 July

An unusual occurance. Juvenile XTT attacked a pair of woodpigeons that were nesting on a gargoyle on the south aisle of the church. After a tussle, XTT killed one of the pigeons, dragged it up the aisle roof and proceeded to pluck it. I've never seen a peregrine go for a sitting pigeon. Later, the surviving pigeon returned alone to nesting duties.
All three juveniles are flying strongly, usually early morning and early evening.
