I was just wondering if these were taken with a license, we have a pair not far from me that have a public hide overlooking the nest and I wondered how the law would stand regarding photography.
Hi Brian no licence required the only way that the pair would be disturbed is if you climb down the rockface the images were taken quite out in the open from a public viewing platform.
As to yours as long as using the public hide causes no disturbance and isn't within the specified distance which I think is 20m from memory you should have no problems.

Light looks harsh, but a very nice record shot! Have they got chicks yet?? My local ones were very early, their young are about 7 dyas from flying.

I think it will be fine then it's a NT hide, I have measured the distance from hide to nest with google earth and it is a tad under 70m.
I will go back soon to see how they are doing, see if they have had chicks.
