fly past

It was a cold morning down on my own patch watching out for the peregrines. The juvenile did fly past and it will be interesting to see if the parents allow him to stay around in the Spring. He catches his fair share of prey but also benefits from the leftovers of the adults. It is very unusual for a juvenile to stay on the patch for what is nearly a year now, the parents might see him off when there are more young mouths to feed.
