Peregrine above the A54 near Wildboarclough. Doing all the things peregrines do: circling, stooping and eating on the wing - it was close so we could see the bits of prey it was discarding.
Also pied flycatcher nesting in a hole in a tree.

Wren. Not unusual. Except that this one had hollowed out decent-sized niche in the side of one of my hanging baskets to try to make a nest. Thankfully, it decided against it - currently the hanging baskets are in the porch with a slightly ajar door, but will be hung up outside soon. So they might not be in such a good spot for a wren's nest.
