You remember that teacher you were terrified of when you were little and how your insides went all wobbly when he/she stared at you? Well, when she is on her prey and looks across at a mere human .... i feel like that scared 5 year old again.

Amazing bird.
Peregrines we don't see much off - there was a pair that checked out the church tower, but I don't think they were into bell ringing and took themselves off. There was hope that the disused railway viaduct towers would be attractive, but I haven't heard that they took to them. The lady who keeps fancy doves will be pleased.
Kites, on the other hand, are working their way in this direction and I'll wager we will have a breeding pair somewhere in the village this spring.
