2 adults. 2 juvs. It all got a bit hectic this morning with 2 juveniles chasing town centre feral pigeons in the fog very enthusiastically. While the large unringed female (Jill) continued with the feral hunting Mrs N picked over the remains of the Teal from yesterday. Remarkably a second fresh Teal was bought to the main rooftop by the 3rd juvenile (Jack, unringed male) who we haven't seen for several weeks. The Teal was already part eaten and later we found the adult male Black 69 lon the west side of BT looking rested and well fed, so think he caught and ate it to start with and Jack then grabbed it from him.
