Halifax Peregrines

Report received from Nick Walsh:

"Male and female peregrine on top of Nestles chimney this dinnertime, having pigeon for lunch. Female flew off over my head and landed on Square Church spire.

No camera today, but got some good views with the binoculars."

Is this the chimney on Bailey Hall Rd? Im going to southowram at lunch to see if I can see the little owl reported on here yesterday, it would be rude not to stop by since its so close!

Just returned, dipped on the little owls but I think I saw the peregrines soaring over the tree tops, prounounced fingertips on the wings, straight tail but with a slight kink in the middle. There were 2 which made me think it probably was them, not sure if may have been sparrowhawks?
