Peregrines - John Bimson June 2011

A few pics of some Peregrines sent in by club member John Bimson.

This pair has bred just outside our normal reporting area but still within a couple of 'flaps and glides' of Bristol.

The 3 chicks fledged yesterday (22/6/11) and left the nest for the first time but obviously they are still keeping very close to the nest site and parents.

And yes.....the architecture shows yet another church.

The birds are under constant surveillance and monitoring by the local ornithological society rather like our own Avon gorge programme.

Many thanks again John.
