I thought members mght be interested to learn about the
Peregrine falcons that have been nesting on top of the Cathedral at Chichester, in the south of England. This of course brings "twitchers" from all over and is a great attraction for the city, and cathedral in particular. The RSPB pitch up a marquee in the grounds of the Closters Cafe, and have telescopes set up, and live footage on a TV screen for visitors to look at.
This pair have been nesting here for 10 years and have now raised 34. This year the female laid 4 eggs (as is normal for her) and so far 2 have hatched over the past two days...
There is a
live webcam and
Blog so you can follow their activities!

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.
