Nature days at York Minster

 


Every Wednesday until the end of the school summer holidays I will be with other members of the RSPB York Local group in Deans Park, next to York Minster.

There are guided walks for children at 10am and 2pm or children can pick up a booklet and explore for themselves. 

We are there with our telescopes to show the visitors the peregrines, which breed at the Minster.

The peregrines however had not realised that the events start today so were not easy to find. Eventually we managed to find an adult sat near the top of one of the towers. After about an hour it flew off and about 30 minutes later we could hear a peregrine calling and saw a bird circling the North Tower.

We managed to locate it and it was the young male. A very poor digiscope image.


The weather was kind to us today, lets hope it is the same next Wednesday.
