Peregrine- Hilfield

Hilfield has been superb this winter- with bramblings, ravens, thousands of starlings, redwings and fieldfares and of course a waxwing. I found another great bird today, with a very vocal peregrine allowing great views from our garden! This is only the second peregrine I have seen at Hilfield, and the last one was a bird that flew over very high. This bird was perched on top of a tree, and every so often would make a swoop to the garden in pursuit of prey. Peregrines are always a great bird to see, and this one was particularly special.
