We appear to have a Peregrine Falcon in the area.

On June 18th I reported seeing one at the Morton end of Ropery Road.

This morning a Peregrine Falcon (perhaps the same bird) flew over Mercers Wood.

Other birds seen in or by the wood this morning — Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Robin, Wren, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Stock Dove, House Martin and Swift
