Aren't Birds Brilliant?

What do you think of my flock of Peregrine Falcons? I think I might be becoming ace at bird photography - rather like the wonderful birds blog of Abraham Lincoln.

Now, I'm a bit late but I'm about to tell you about one of the more fantastic things you can do for free in London - at least for the next couple of days. Outside the Tate Modern, the RSPB have set up a stand with telescopes and binoculars for people to observe the Peregrine Falcons that are nesting in the chimney of the Tate. The telescopes will even allow you to attach a camera, unfortunately the real ones weren't in evidence while I was there. They're quite happy in London because there are quite a few pigeons for them to eat. "Aren't Birds Brilliant?" is the RSPB project to bring people closer to birds across the UK.
