Winchester cathedral peregrine
Today, on my way home from ukulele class I cycled through the cathedral close and took a look at the north transept. Sure enough, I spied one of the Peregrine Falcons perched on the ledge just below the round window. In my extra you can just about see it, to the left of the photo. The resident female, Winnie, lost her partner, Chester, last year to severe parasitic infection, but may have found a new mate, called Alfred. But, the course of nesting and raising young does not always run smoothly, so only time will tell.
