DOG FIGHTING OVER LONDON- T42

Back up the tower today http://peteralfreybirdingnotebook.blogspot.com/2010/04/tower-42-migration-watch.html (background on this project). Migrants seen included Oystercatcher, Rook, 3 Common Buzzard, 1 Swift and small numbers of Hirundines. Highlight of the day was a Buzzard and a Peregrine having a dog fight over St.Pancras Train Station (pics one and two). BBC Natural World were filming proceedings for a documentary about wildlife in London (bottom pic).

What a fabulous sight, Peter.
