Hi Penny,



There was a pair on top of the old American Express Building at the southern 
end of Hyde Park all last year - possibly breeding as they kept returning to 
the same part of the roof.



Since they started building work there a few months ago they have moved off 
although occassionally seen in the area still (I last saw one around a month 
ago) - could it be the same birds?



Cheers,



Ed
