I was thrilled when a friend living in Ely alerted me to the first Peregrine Falcon family breeding on the top of Ely Cathedral. I shot up there early the following morning and had a wonderful time photographing up to four Peregrines in one frame. All three juveniles were with a parent bird and practising their flying antics. Not appearing on the Calendar, but which could have done, was the sight of a Wood Pigeon getting out of the way of Peregrine on the ramparts on the Octagon just in time! I have another friend who updates me on Peregrine activity around the Cathedral and it does look as though at least one Peregrine is wintering in the area.
