Just seen Perigrines mating!!! Approx 9:50 am. I logged on to see female resting in her usual favourite spot and was keeping half an eye on her for a while when suddenly the camera was obscured by the male. He then proceded to fly up again, land behind the female and mate with her (pretty quickly) and then he moved to the nest scrape where he did some shuffling about before moving out on to the edge and having a really good grooming session. Obviously pleased with himself! It was very exciting to catch the moment.
