A breeding pair of Peregrine falcons have this year raised four young on the rooftop of Chichester Cathedral. I have good reason to believe that the pair have raised a total of 30 young whilst they have been in residence at the Cathedral.

This blog may have been a bit quiet recently but that’s for a number of reasons. Recently launched Journog, a photoblog and professional service combined, more on this in a moment.

Last but not least, the payment has been made for our trip to Sorrento (Italy) in September! Yay! Read more…

I will share my photos with you all shortly and I look forward to seeing yours too!

I was blown away by the sheer power of the marriage between man and beast, as the Household Cavalry charged past my lens. In fact I wasn’t expecting them to be that close and had it not been for a sturdy fence, one slight step forward and I would have been, well, very dead should I say. I also imagined for a moment how terrifying it would have been for any enemy facing this brute force. Especially if you had been dismounted in battle.
