Hi

I've just relocated here from down Berkshire. I would love to watch some hobbies and swallows as near to me as possible but if I have to travel and it is worth it then I'm happy to do so. I have already watched the local peregrines from a nearby steeple - priceless.

Any tips and pointers will very much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Atma Singh

Brandon marsh is probably your best local birding site ,situated off Brandon lane from a45 just east of Tollbar island.

Hi Atma, There is also Marsh Lane at Balsall Common. John

Thanks guys!

Have heard of the former but not the latter. Will try both this summer - if the painting and decorating doesn't take up too much of my time!

Thanks again

I can wholeheartedly recommend Brandon Marsh and is ideally located for you.

Heard that one of the city centre peregrines has disappeared :-(

City Centre Peregrines are both still around

They have one juvenile hanging around. I've only been watching them regularly for short periods over the last week or so, but have been told by a worker at the Cathedral that this year's brood was apparently quite late and so this may be why.

They seem to mostly be hunting towards the North of their favoured church/cathedral perches.
