The Needles

Saw a pair of Peregrines flying about and warning off a pair of crows. They stooped down on them and the Crows flipped over 180 degrees to show their claws and defend themselves.

Saw a pair of Ravens, pipit, Great Black-blacked Gulls, Cormorant amongst others.

Fine weather.

First Peregrine Falcon this morning. Saw a Willow Warbler catching insects as well as Greenfinch, Long-tailed Tit, Rooks, Jackdaw, House Sparrows (x24) and Blackbirds.

Saw Great Black-backed Gulls and Herring Gulls on the rocks.

On the look out for more Peregrine Falcons throughout the coming week.
