Stunning views of this magnificent Peregrine Falcon at Clevedon yesterday! 😍
I only looked up because I heard a Raven calling overhead, and saw the Falcon dive-bombing the Raven! 😮😀🐦

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵
