Well, a bit earlier today, I think the male decided it was his time to fledge. And then came straight back to the ledge, landing with a thud. Maybe he got out there and thought "No, I'm not ready for this. Really not ready." #367Collins #PeregrineFalcons

It’s weird being ‘well enough’ to do basic stuff after 3 years of being so unwell with long covid that it was beyond me. In the last month I’ve finally sorted through my old work bag & my car. Looking at a snapshot of my old life & finding things I thought were gone or had forgotten getting.
