We just need the fog to lift! Apologies for incorrect spelling of Autumnwatch which featured amongst other things a really interesting piece on Peregrines in urban areas and the fact that they have been seen on camera bringing prey back to the nest at night.

They certainly have a catholic diet, prey items included Woodcock, various waders, Teal & Ring-necked Parakeet amongst other things.

Waders migrating at night were clearly a favourite target!
