Busy tonight - so I avoided the main area. Went and had a wander to the lesser frequented areas.

Quite a few sets of birds nesting at different spots along the crag.

Two separate sets on the right hand outcrop (in Peepod and The Corner). Parents were circling - not sure if they were ravens or crows.

Another set on the left hand outcrop (in Nameless) initially thought they may be bats due to the sound - not so certain now. Possibly ravens as well.

I'll drop Rob Dyer a message so that he's aware.

Thanks for letting us know!

Nay problem.  Better than disturbing them. Or having your eyes pecked out.

Indeed, I often think the restrictions are as much for our safety as theirs. Imagine topping out of a route and coming face to face with a fully grown adult Raven, it'd be terrifying!!

Great to see so many people out reporting what they're seeing too. In/amongst everything else that's going on I suspect it makes Rob's - and the various volunteer access rep's - lives a lot easier.
