gary,i,ve just looked back and neither me or ian said that the peregrine was seen on the pylon early am, but thanks for the turners flash sighting of the smew i,m having another attempt digiscoping the elusive one on sunday cos the weather forcast looks good, all i,ve got to is find it  before it leaves and i,ll have a shower just in case

regards geoff
