Hi Alan,

Very nice muted colours. Bit of a shame about the nearest stem. I see from previous posts that you shoot alot in Regent's Park, don't know if you know or not but if you enter at York Bridge and look up at the tall white building with all the aerials on (you will be roughly behind maddame tussaud's) there are Peregrine nesting there on the ledge just under the aerials, it is a university of westminster building, this time of year you may seem some displaying behaviuor or they may already be on eggs, in June/July the RSPB set up a watchpoint with scope's etc, a very good day out!!

Regards

Rob
