Principal Observer(s) : Killian Mullarney, Dave Bakewell Not Specified
Reported By : Not Specified
Comments : Moulting adult. Around 13.30, it was picked up on call and appeared right over our heads before looping back and landing in the midst of a Dunlin flock off the Patch. Watched feeding at a moderate range for around 45 mins before everything got up (there was almost constant Peregrine activity on the lake all day) and the AGP flew steadfastly west until lost to sight somewhere over the White Hole.
Status : See IRBC Appendix 2
