Peregrines in Cambridge

For the fourth (?fifth) year, Peregrines are nesting on one of Cambridge's tall buildings. Such a treat to see them at relatively close quarters even though action photography is difficult in the confined space of the narrow streets and the light direction. We mainly watched the female at the nest site and then flying to nearby buildings but also had a view of the male (second image with a leg ring), which is a smaller bird with whiter white on the side of the nape. They seem to have two young which are pretty well feathered now.
