A beautiful cathedral and a stunning church with 4 peregrine chicks on each one. All still on their ledges, shouting for food !

Red-throated Diver and a few other bits from last week

 

Red-throated Diver last week on the Sailing Pit at Barton obviously at the other side of the pit where access is now fenced off

Walked into the parkland and there were 7 red kites sat in this tree......we knew we were in for a good afternoon !

A distant peregrine that displayed the whole time we were there, the more his female called the more he displayed......a fantastic sight to see

A kestrel blending into his surroundings

Just got out the car and this fox trotted down the road. No time to think about camera settings, just point and hope !  We saw him a few times, a magnificent animal x

Another one of the red-throated diver, distant was an understatement !

A couple of Brent Geese in with the white-fronts

A few bits and bobs from last week

 

14 Spoonbills over Alkborough Flats

2 of the 4 peregrine chicks on Lincoln Cathedral, they fledged the next day

I know that you cannot see it but just underneath the water was a massive dog otter, wonderful to see and not seen one for quite a while

20+ hares in the field on our evening walk, busy chasing and boxing

Peregrines, Lincoln Cathedral

Our annual pilgrimage just down the road to Lincoln to see this year's peregrines. 4 chicks this year, one already flew this morning and was impossible to find perched on the towers. 3 remain still flapping on the ledge. Quite a crowd this year, it's getting a popular spot for the photographers. We parked on our usual spot, outside the Sing School and listened to the choristers practicing. Beautiful architecture, some stunning birds and music to our ears, what more could you ask for !

The three amigos sat waiting patiently for their tea to arrive !
