Storm caught in the act,, hiding food!

I visited the Holcim plant yesterday and at first didn’t see any peregrines but when I turned around to leave I noticed that one had landed on the “nest ledge”. It stayed there for a few minutes then did a fly by around the plant and landed again on the nest ledge. It then disappeared onto the level where the nest is and went out of sight. A peregrine then appeared and did another pass around the plant and landed under the structure where the nest is. There must have been a food cache there because it picked up some food and then carried back and forth then stashed it again. I think it was the male Storm because it has bands on both legs. I don’t have a scope so did the zoom zoom on my camera and this was the best I came up with.
It was great to see him again and now I know of another place I can look for them. Definitely out of sight for the naked eye.
I will be out that way again on Friday so will check in then to see what I can see.
