I'm not sure if we have Peregrines nesting here. I see them much of the year, though, but can't think of a high cliff or building

Aah thats good, We have peregrines like that nesting on industrial sites, in fact theres one on a church near my Mums but there are only two sites in England where Ospreys nest/fish, both are the other side of a huge lake unfortunately.

Ours are pretty thick and they don't get too upset at humans. There are several nests right along industrial sites

Its still a great spot :-) any photos I have of Ospreys would look like little dots if I put them on here ha!

Thank you. I was driving home, saw him out of the corner of my eye and scrambled for a place to park. Had I spotted him a couple moments earlier, I'd have been much closer
