Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) Norwich Cathedral 14th June 2018. The second of the three juveniles to fledge. Above three photograph were taken from the cloisters.

A little later, number two Peregrine Falcon off the platform, slipped in a clumsy flight attempt, fell backwards and then managed to turn in mid-flight and coasted low over the cloisters roof near the café. I was expecting the bird to be on a wall or tree but it ended up on the road. Lying down to get a better angle to photograph the bird I was amazed when it ran up to me. After helping guide passers-by around the bird, it was later released on the Bell Tower
