It's great to see the underpart markings of an imm Peregrine so clearly.

Phil D said...

Hi Phil - was it you I was talking to you recently of a chap (birdwatcher) I met a few weeks ago at Green Withens. We were both looking for the Water Pipit? Bob Kenworthy - he was on this weekends Countryfile programme on BBC working on a moorland site near Oldham - wall building etc. with a team doing fantastic work. Worth watching on catchup if you get chance. Dave
