A beautiful day on Askam Pier promised so much. As we were setting up the Whoosh Net three Peregrines were flying above. One of the males made a food pass to a female whilst a first year male screamed at them. The three then made off inland.The conditions were perfect and everything looked like the banner Photo. at the top of this blog. Within minutes the first catch produced 3 new birds 2 re-traps from this year and 1 from last year. We were about to press the button for a second time on the Twite when a male Sparrowhawk attacked. The Twite escaped and after hanging around for a minute or two the Sparrowhawk moved on. This was the last we saw of the Twite for 4 hours. When they returned they stayed on the steep rough rocky side of the pier.
