Further to our recent visits to observe Peregrine Falcons on The Yorkshire Coast Around Whitby, myself and Mike have located two more breeding pairs since my last post.

Once again we request you do not ask us about their locations as we are not willing to disclose them and we would hate to offend anyone by having to say no.

This morning we were up early and out for a spot of birdwatching of all things. Its something totally new to me. Whilst walking and fishing on the coast I’ve always been aware of what is there but never gone specifically to look for something before.

Upon arrival the birds were instantly visible flying around the coast. Clearly a pair and doing all sorts of movements in flight which I suspect are something to do with mating.

Myself and Mike took the footpath to the scars and we walked along looking for places where we think the Peregrines take their pray. We found several places with lots of fresh blood and feathers which suggest they had been down there recently.

Once back on the cliff tops we started to walk back to the car park and took a route along the cliff tops. We could see the Peregrine perched beneath us so stopped for some photographs, and to our surprise it was guarding its nest in which we could clearly see 4 eggs.

Needless to say we were blown away by our discovery. Not wanting to disturb the bird for too long we got a photograph or 2 then left it in peace.

As mentioned we have found 3 pairs of Peregrines local to the Yorkshire Coast. We suspect their are more present in other areas so will be hoping to go and find some of them in the coming months.

Once again thanks for reading my blog. You may find the links below useful for learning more about my Photography.

Best Wishes – Glenn
