Website updates
- NEW: In the UK, you may like to the watch Landward on the BBC iPlayer which has a feature on the Peregrine family at the University of Glasgow. This was filmed a few weeks ago when the two chicks were ringed. The full programme also has a feature on RSPB Baron's Haugh.
- NEW: Sad news from the Peregrine nest where one of the chicks has died.
- NEW: Donald Wilson's report from May's outing to the Isle of May is now available here. Links to over 40 reports from our branch outings can be found on our Outings page too.
- We have added a May (and early June) Peregrine update . Don't forget the dates for the next of this year's Peregrine Watches at the Huntarian Museum/Glasgow University can be found on our Watches page. They really are great events. So many people come and say hello and get to see our Peregrine family through our telescopes. If you've not been yet, hopefully we'll see you at one or more of them very soon.
- The May 2025 grapevine records have now been added to the website. You can check back on our Grapevine archive under the "Recording & Reporting" section in the navigation. Do let us know what you find this month.
