We've managed to read the BTO ring number of the adult female from this years' live hobby nest camera. EZ92156. Ringed by DRSG in 2019 as a chick at another F.E. site 8.5 miles away. To think she will have travelled at least 50,000 miles migrating alone!

Poole (Dorset) peregrines have been very active in the higher nest box recently. Adult male and female spending considerable time at the box and the male recorded scraping. This year's juvenile male (HG) is still present. If he is still around in Mar/April will he help or hinder?...we'll see.

The majority of Britons think important places for nature should have stronger protections.
Only 2% think protections should be weakened... yet that’s where ministers keep pushing.

This might also explain the slow and steady decline of common insects. I am sure they cannot avoid these pesticides either and low levels could disrupt behaviour or reduce survival rates www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The resident adult Poole peregrines were displaying to each other in the high nest box a couple of days ago. Day length is approx. the same as pre-breeding/Spring. The juvenile male (HG) from this year's brood continues to be a 'stay-at-home' bird.
