βeta: There is a bird of prey nesting on the route, (might be a merlin or hen harrower, but I'm no good at identification). There are eggs in the nest I accidentally climbed up to, we had seen the bird flying about early but not realised it was nesting. I down climbed so as not to disturb it anymore that I had.

βeta: This felt much harder than the grade of E1 5b - but maybe attempting it at the end of the day didnt help. Strenuous committing traverse to even harder moves above with gear getting ever more distant. My attempt saw a frantic retreat back to the scoop/niche and an escape out left into Brown Windsor. Any other views on this route ?
