Plym Bridge Peregrine Falcons

The beauty of living in Plymouth is that there are so many beautiful places close by that we can easily visit.  Yesterday we only had a couple of free hours but that was time to go for a walk in Plym Bridge Woods.

From the car park by the bridge we walked along the cycle path until we reached the Cann viaduct where a National Trust worker was on hand with telescopes to enable us to see the peregrine falcon nesting in Cann Quarry.  The female bird was sitting on the nest, so we were not able to see the two chicks.

We then walked down the steps at the side of the viaduct and to see the weir.

We then walked back to Plym Bridge along the side of the canal.  This path is closer to the River Plym and it was good to take this path after not being able to use it before this year as it has been so wet and muddy.

When we reached Plym Bridge we crossed the river and walked up the other river bank for a while until we had to return home.
