19/09/21	GOLDEN EAGLE	Wargrave	1	M J Hubbard
19:53	Just had a massive bird of prey over the garden, on Loddon Drive calling constantly ( almost Egyption goose like.) It flew in low ( c40 feet) from the west then veered off n/east towards Wargrave. Too dark to 100% verify but this was enormous !

19/09/21	Peregrine	Newbury BT Exchange	3	K G White
07:25	First Mrs N & then B69 launched in fast level flight to the NE from BT. As they were reaching the visible distant horizon a 3rd Peregrine was observed carrying a large prey item. It would appear that they had gone to intercept this bird but on reaching it turned round and came straight back to BT. We concluded that it might have been a juvenile Peregrine, possibly one of their own and they left it alone with no confrontation. SU473668.
