At 1350 today a female Peregrine flew towards the Ski Lake from Rastrick side setting up all the Gulls. It did one circuit then headed off towards Cromwell Wood,and this tallies with Jimtoms sighting on Mon. 2 Mute Swans on river at Bridge End,Brighouse and further up river are 11 Tufted, 7 Goosander and 4 Little Grebe. I have seen the Water Rail on last Fri and Sat by the weir near Cromwell House.

looks to have a full crop that one.
Another 20 Goosander further upriver between SBridge and Copley at same time. Details to follow on blog.
Her crop was very full and made no attempt to have a go at all the birds she put up.On the subject af apples I bought 5x1kg bags of coxes at Lidl in Hudds for 79p per bag,a bargain.
Just had a look at BBC Derby local news site showing film of a night hunting Peregrine bringing back a Woodcock still struggling to escape to its breeding site on Derby Cathedral it is well worth a look
Mike not been able to view the derby footage yet but is it night or dusk?

Hi Andrew. The footage is in total darkness and the Peregrines nest on the Cathedral not the Woodcock, the composition of my comment is atrocious,apologies to all.
