The Peregrines have had a really successful season, thus far, nesting on Ely Cathedral this year. The female laid 4 eggs all have hatched and survived. Simon has continued his regular observations of Peregrines around the Cathedral, and there is a live camera stream from the nest box giving great insights into what's happening with this family.
In addition to the Peregrines, Cranes have continued their success with eggs hatching for the third consecutive year at Wicken Fen, Garganey and Grey Partridge have also been about and performing jn front of Simon's lens. Elsewhere a trio of Black-winged Stilts arrived at Welney, settling amongst the limosa Black-tailed Godwits and Avocets. Moving around the Washes and disappearing quickly, there have been a number of local breeding attempts by these leggy waders, it'd be great if they re-appear later in the summer with young in tow.
