After an afternoon of not seeing very much around the Horwich and Anglezarke Moors areas, it was nice to see the Peregrine high up on the ledge around the chimney on the way home. Luckily I had my scope with me and although the light was starting to go, I got some good views of this Boltonian townie, which I'm calling Dibnah from now on.
