Wildlife on a Sunday afternoon in Bath

Prior Park - a view towards town on a warm day in mid-June.
What can be found on a such a sunny day in and around the city?

First there are wonderful insects: damselflies and butterflies. 
And then there are some extraordinary birds.

The large red damselfly by the pond.

Something very new has emerged from an eddy of the River Avon. It has climbed
up high and is drying its wings. I am not sure what it will become.
And finally, high above the city on the spire of St John's church a peregrine falcon is taking a late lunch, scattering feathers into the wind.
