      The hard part was getting up at 5.15 am to get the dawn light and little disturbance in the Town Hall square. Then I just had to wait for the peregrines to fly.

      I know this was a few years ago, but I remember seeing a few people waiting to photograph these, although at that time I knew nothing about birds. Was it a one off occurrence?
