One juvenile (JK) was visible on the Tower but no sign of the other. So the adult female waited for about 30mins until the other juvenile (JL) returned before passing the prey item to both juveniles.
A couple of images of one of the two juvenile (JK) Peregrines in Taunton that has successfully fledged and can be seen flying around. However, although it does occasionally return to the Minster it seems to prefer to sit and wait in a nearby tree and is therefore harder to see.

10 years of scam adverts. I have the misfortune to be in 44% of them according to the police. I've sued. I've lobbied. I've cried at hideous cases of vulnerable people losing everything. Why has nothing been done. Please watch...
One of the most touching photographs from more than 73 years together shows Prince Philip in 2003 dressed in a Queen’s Guard uniform. As Queen Elizabeth II walked past him, she burst into laughter at the sight.
This photograph was taken during a ceremonial inspection at Windsor Castle in 2003, when Prince Philip surprised Queen Elizabeth II by appearing in the uniform of the Grenadier Guards as part of the regiment’s anniversary celebrations. As the Queen walked past him during the event, she reportedly burst into laughter at the unexpected sight of her husband standing rigidly in full ceremonial dress, complete with the towering bearskin hat. The image quickly became one of the most beloved candid royal photographs because it revealed a rare moment of humor and warmth within a relationship usually seen through the lens of strict public formality.
By the time the photograph was taken, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had already been married for more than 55 years, eventually reaching a historic 73-year marriage before Philip’s death in 2021. Royal biographers often noted that Philip was one of the few people capable of making the Queen genuinely laugh in public, and the photograph has endured because it captures that side of their relationship so naturally. Beyond the uniforms, ceremonies, and traditions tied to the monarchy, the moment reminds people that their bond was built not only on duty, but also on companionship, teasing, and a lifetime of shared familiarity.
A 🦔has excellent hearing, they don’t have a flight or fight response to danger-they freeze or roll into a ball😢. Jimmy found out in the day has an infected strimmer injury, it starts on the top of his head & continues under his chin! PLEASE check if you HAVE to use a strimmer.
This is quite a photograph.

Morning I was thinking of doing this tribute yesterday but the Worlds media was full of it. I could never equal a Royal tribute, but when you look at this life of Sir David he is bigger than a celebrity he is an icon and stands out being unique in his field of expertise. I loved the films with the Gorilla's and monkeys then again if there was ever relaxing stress free TV the planet series especially underwater. I would make his programmes essential viewing in schools for teenagers whose mind are filled with many other things. I don't think I have ever met Sir David an honour still to be achieved. So this weekend as a family get catch up on turn off the phones and relive some amazing programmes check out Meerkats Utd!! If by any chance Sir David or his team read this Happy 100th Sir David and Thanks for giving me a love for the Animal World via your TV programmes
In case you want some more receipts for later, here is what about 8000 people look like at a BP garden party each time. Images are from 6 May and yesterday 8 May. Both pictures from Getty. Second picture from Jonathan Brady at Getty.
Hedgehogs are solitary animals so are silent - they have no need to communicate so don't have a 'vocabulary'. Even when in pain or fear they usually suffer in silence. The only time you'll really hear them vocalise is this time of year - mating season.
And it's only the girls who talk.😁
The male approaches the female and circles her, trying to mount.
The female turns to face him, keeping her nether regions out of his reach, and makes a chuff-chuff sound, telling him she's not interested.
She'll keep this up for hours, sometimes days, until she whittles down which of her suitors is the strongest, has the most endurance and energy, is the fittest and healthiest and most determined.
She wants only the very best to be the father of her precious babies.
Only when he's proved himself to be worthy, does the female crouch down and lay her spines flat, and allow him to mate.
Inexperienced males often need to use their mouth to hold on and get into position, so this time of year you may see females with a small wound on their back. There can be more than one winner, and she'll allow other males who have made the grade to mate with her also.
So the resulting litter can be hoglets with several different fathers, producing a truly diverse and healthy gene pool.
This genetic diversity within a population allows it to adapt to changing environments and resist diseases. Just one of the reasons our humble little hedgehog has survived for over 15 million years!🥰

A simple act can make a real difference for local wildlife 🦔
Please put out a shallow dish of fresh water in your garden or outdoor space for hedgehogs and other visiting animals.
Small actions like this help support urban wildlife all around us.
Feeling thankful today 😊
