| Post subject: | Louth peregrine update |
A monthly update of the number of days peregrine present on St.James, Louth. After our expectations following December sightings, January has been rather quiet. The male's visits to the tower have often been for shorter periods and on a couple of occasions, while both birds were seen in the air, only the male landed. August: male 15 days + pair 1 day. September: male 17 days (calling most days) + pair 2 days. October: male 16 days (calling most days) + pair 9 days (performing spectacular display flights with raucous calling by both). November: male 17 days (seen carrying prey on 1 day) + pair 5 days + 3 on 2 days. December: male 17 days + pair 11 days. (Seen sharing a kill on one occasion and several instances of prey being butchered, favoured location is the east side of the tower on the middle gargoyle just below the walkway.) January 2011: male 17 days + pair 6 days. February report at end of month. Note, the birds may have been present more frequently, but not recorded by us. Geoff & Julia |
