Good morning
Can anyone recommend any hotspots local to me to see any birds of pray at the moment?
TIA
Darren

Hi Darren. I’d head to Ham Wall. Might be a little early for Hobby? But Marsh Harriers will be there.

Jokes about pray/prey apart, a lot of Peregrines nest on church steeples these days, so they can be worth a look! Kestrels too. :t:

Peregrines are actually mostly on city churches and cathedrals - safer there, as there's no gamekeepers around :t:
