Peregrines making new Peregrines!

I was waiting for a bit of sunlight for a photo and passing the time by filming a female Peregrine sitting on a cliff in Aberdeenshire when its partner flew in and mated. Afterwards she appeared, at least to me to eject his contribution then go on a high speed "celebration" flight around the cliff-tops.
Also Murton, Montreathmont and St Vigeans photos.

Peregrines mating, for video click here,

Also at the same site a visiting Red Kite being seen off by the male of a pair of Ravens

Variable light, but this a wee bit better

A quick retreat with the camera in case this actually turned out to be rain

It's my island, an ongoing series of disputes over the very small island slowly appearing at Murton NR. The water needs to recede quickly as everything wants a piece to nest on

The Black-headed Gulls were having a go at everyone including this young Herring Gull

Song Thrush in front of the car park hide at Murton, also a pair of Long-tailed Tits flying back and forwards and nearly through the hide windows

Now five Siskins at Montreathmont Hide

One of a very few remaining Teal at St Vigeans where the farmer is having the flooded field drained which will mean no more winter ducks and waders
