If you haven't been to one of our meetings why not
come to one? You may really enjoy it and you will get
much more out of your RSPB membership by joining a
local group. A warm welcome is always
assured.
LINCOLN'S PEREGRINES
In 2007 peregrines nested for the first time on
Lincoln Cathedral. The nest site was on the south
side of the main tower where the birds successfully
raised three young. In February, 2008, a tray was
fixed to the nesting ledge to provide more security
for the young birds and a video camera was fitted to
overlook the tray. However, the birds have ignored
the tray and nested in the opposite corner so no video images are currently available! The two
photographs below show the tray and the video
camera. Information about viewing the peregrines at
Lincoln Cathedral during May and June 2008 can be found on the
national RSPB website: www.rspb.org.uk/brilliant/sites/lincoln/index.asp
