It has been a fascinating and educational experience and I plan to watch again next year. There are also YouTube videos available. If you have your computer sound on, you can hear the cathedral clock chiming and the wind blowing. I haven’t as yet got round to watching the cathedral virtual tour, having been distracted by these magnificent birds! Perhaps one of
the Minster towers could become a home for falcons. https://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk Nature Conservation Adviser to Salisbury Cathedral and local bird expert Granville Pictor discuss the conservation of peregrine falcons at Salisbury Cathedral, in a recent (June 20th) Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eq_sJLA2uy0
Minster makes Music Appeal As we have explained, like so many other activities the appeal has run up against the implications of coronavirus, which has forced us to put it on hold. We must wait to see how coronavirus gets on and how long these pressures remain, and we will also have to confirm timing with the organ builders. We are therefore not going to be able to move the appeal forward this summer. We may be in a better position to move the appeal forward by the autumn, and will at least know by then what the options are. We will be working to keep the appeal alive so that we can build on and develop that great start. A positive outcome of the present situation is that it gives us time to prepare. Do please let us know if there is any way that you would like to help when we move forward again. We should be delighted to hear from you, and also if

If you have questions or suggestions, do please contact Andrew Curtis, Chair of the Minster Makes Music Appeal Committee, through the Parish Office (parishoffice@wimborneminster.org. uk).
