Last summer a pair of Peregrine Falcon built an eyrie on the "cliff" face above the Forest Glen car park. They raised three young which all fledged and were a constant attraction for birders and the general public. Typically I found out about this very late in the proverbial day and only just managed to catch the young before they fledged. At the time these photos were taken they were exploring their immediate environment and constantly calling whilst exercising their wing muscles. I was struck by the interest being shown by non-birders as mum, dad and children would arrive in their cars with the sole intention of seeing these celebrity birds. Perhaps Britain still remains a society which maintains a sense of what is valuable ?
