The plurals are intentional. At lunchtime, two Dippers were back in town just below the weir, with some singing and chasing in the weak sunshine. Nearby were pairs of both Pied Wagtails and Grey Wagtails, as well as two pairs of Mute Swans , so love must be in the air. Later a presumably single Dipper was singly loudly but alone from a riverside tree stump in Old Mill Nature Reserve:
Earlier on the day's sanctioned exercise a noisy Peregrine was flying around Haverfordwest Castle. It circled a bit and gained height before flying north up the valley towards the reserve. A small collection of feathers on open ground next to the old records office suggested a kill, but not obviously recent. However, later a close look at a snatched picture of the departing bird showed some dainty feet, which do not appear to belong to a Peregrine:
On Tuesday's walk there was a Peregrine north of Haverfordwest town centre plucking feathers off a recently killed pigeon on a favourite branch. About half an hour later there was a Peregrine flying over Slade Lane fields back towards town. Interestingly, a further half later there was (still) a Peregrine with a full crop at the first location, so seems like a second bird is spending the winter in the neighbourhood.
