I'm keeping this one

Early morning down to look out for peregrines. With 6 birds around the mill, now 4 have fledged, you would expect lots of action but it is not the case. These guys tend only to fly for a good reason.
The male adult did however eventually fly in with prey, a collared dove. Whilst the young were on the nest he would always give up his catch to the female but not this time. You can see in the first extra that when she flew to take it off him he was off hanging on to us prize. The young are seen occasionally peeking off the roof but they are much quieter than previous years. We had begun to expect them to be forever squawking for food and attention but even when this pigeon was bought in they were quiet, they must be content.
The last extra is of one of the juveniles having a fly around, don't they look magnificent. Please look in large if you have time.
