From a distance, I thought the birds perched side by side were Tom and Charlie. It was Charlie but it turns out it was PF, which I had never seen perched next to a parent before. Tom was hiding away on the South wing, nicely sheltered from the light rain, and digesting a big meal. Charlie was hungry, soon after this shots, she flew off towards the Wetland Centre, with PF in tow. Coming back from my errands and leaving the cemetery I saw Charlie coming towards me and go for a pigeon, below roof top level. She missed but what a sight, so close And again PF was not far behind...

Got some great views of PF while running errands this afternoon. Beautiful soaring above the hospital, drifting South then heading East before coming back to the hospital and terrorising the hospital pigeons, flushing all the ones he could find off the roof. Once they'd all gone he settled on the cooling tower where Dad (whom he'd also briefly bothered) was perched.
I was coming back on the Fulham Palace Road when I saw Tom after a group of 5 pigeons (probably as they were coming back thinking the coast was clear) , singling one out and chasing it West. Sadly I couldn't see the end of the chase (nearly threw myself under a car walking backwards!) but he came back empty taloned a few minutes later and landed on the West wing. He jumped down behind the wall and Charlie jumped up before flying off, I presume he picked up the prey she'd just been eating as he jumped back up and started to eat on the corner.
Walking back I spotted Charlie on the E corner of the North wing and PF on a corner of the cooling tower. All 3 Peregrines on 3 separate corners!
