IMPORTANT NEW UPDATE: The whole crag restriction is back in force (5pm 9th May). After lifting the restriction yesterday, the Peregrines were unfortunately observed to be significantly disturbed by the presence of climbers even well away from the restricted area. Thus Natural England have changed the signs on site and the whole crag is likely to remain restricted for the rest of the breeding season.
As noted elsewhere individuals and pairs respond to human activity differently and restrictions have to be set and adjusted to accommodate for this. In this instance Natural England okayed a loosening of restrictions, but have now had to re-apply the restrictions after the bird proved to be intolerant of changes.
