Kestrels
A group of three juv Kestrels were at Pen Anglas this morning (possibly the three juvs from Fishguard Fort) a Peregrine dived into the group splitting one of the birds off, it then chased the Kestrel the Peregrine continued pursuing the bird by gaining height and diving at the Kestrel both birds disappeared down the side of a cliff no further sign of either bird after this .So I am not sure if the Kestrel escaped but it was all very dramatic.
