I recently went down to Torquay for a couple of days away, and eagerly jumped at the chance to go on a wildlife cruise. They advertised seeing herons, seals, dolphins, and what I most looked forward to, Peregrine Falcons. As we chatted to the crew they explained the tour passed two active peregrine nest sites both of which they seen earlier in the day. This could be an opportunity to finally tick off one of those sightings on my to-do list.
As we set off I was eagerly scanning the cliff edge and skies, gull..... gull.... gull........ another gull. As time began to tick by my spirits were dropping and as we passed the last nest site I knew today wasnt going to be the day. After two hours all we had seen were gulls, not even a glimpse of a seal. I was gutted, but now the search continues for the incredible peregrine falcon.
