I thought the juv Peregrine at Cromer Church was going for the vegetarian option at first! Cromer Peregrine Project RSPB BBC Springwatch Norfolk Wildlife Trust BBC Norfolk

Very nice final meeting with UEA School of Environmental Sciences student. Research with Felbeck Trust & NENBC Insights into how people who deeply engage with nature feel about climate change, habitat and species loss & its affect on their mental health Norfolk Wildlife Trust RSPB #WhyWeDoResearch

Pair of Bullfinches seen in the garden today, often hear them as they move along the garden hedge but despite the brightly coloured male they are rarely seen.

Took part in the NENBC Big Sit at Felbrigg Park on Saturday, a dawn till dusk bird watch which would have been fine if not for the fog! Still it did clear and 50 species seen. Walking through the woods at 4:45am was pleased to see several bats patrolling along the footpath.

In Norfolk today seeing Mum. Spent the evening up on the Heath. Great to see Turtle Dove there plus the usual Linnets, Willow Warblers and Stonechats. Good to find Woodlark and Dartford Warbler and finished the evening with fantastic Nightjars Norfolk Bird Records NENBC

Slo-mo'd the vid of the juvenile Peregrine chasing the adult at Cromer church. You get an even better idea of the difference in flight. He's really doing well to even get near him! Cromer Peregrine Project RSPB NENBC

Also, lovely to watch the juvenile Peregrine on the church at Cromer having a really thorough preen. And with musical accompaniment too! Looking quite the young adult now! Cromer Peregrine Project RSPB @nenbc

Lovely views of the juvenile peregrine at Cromer Church following the adult male. Notice how he's struggling to keep up - but brilliant practice for him! Cromer Peregrine Project RSPB @nenbc_info

The juvenile peregrine at Cromer church yesterday taking his first recorded decent flight (as far as I am aware). He flew round the museum twice in order to gain height to land on the tower roof - he's on a low ledge here - which he did successfully! Cromer Peregrine Project NENBC

Woodlark on Kelling Heath this morning

Ringing of the Cromer Peregrine chicks today. Difference in weight indicates 1 x male, 1 x female (hatched within 24 hrs of each other but one weighs 240g MORE). I watched the adult female swoop down and catch a stationary pigeon from the low roof! Never seen that here before!

All went very well.

Single bee-eater tracked west early morning - West Runton, Sheringham and then Weybourne.

Cromer church today: the adult Peregrines have (almost) mastered the art of taking squabs. Missed here but one was taken in an hour later. That's one helluva gutsy pigeon! The Peregrines have managed to catch a Swift as well this year! Cromer Peregrine Project NENBC RSPB

AMAZING!

Nightingale in Norfolk today

What a lovely walk along Sheringham beach towards Weybourne this afternoon. Fab views, so close, of two Sanderling. They actually kept still sometimes😀@nenbc RSPB Norfolk Wildlife Trust

Today's breakfast for the Cromer peregrines: a Jay. Yesterday's food included a Swift - luckily not an Alpine one!! Screenshot from the Cromer Peregrine Project webcam available on YouTube NENBC RSPB Norfolk Wildlife Trust
