Sightings 11/4/11

If anyone has a cracking shot of a Peregrine in flight, pls could you send it to us.......something's just popped into our head......

Only send it if you have a robust sense of humour, many thanks.


Many thanks to everyone who responded so quickly to our call for a Peregrine photo. We received so many pics that we've decided to choose the lucky winner on a 1st come/1st served basis and we'll update the homepage tonight accordingly.

Never in our wildest imagination did we ever expect to receive a photo from a Dark Lord of the Sith......
