Peregrine lovers.

Posted this on a site few minutes ago.
Hal Hickton Your priorities are wrong. Peregrines do not need nesting sites put up by volunteers any more. They are now at the level before pesticides, actually way above it. Same in the UK and Europe. They are now creating an imbalance. As you may have realised, I race pigeons. As do many others. Time to introduce the Eagle Owl to level the playing field..

Totally agree..its getting worse

there was a pair of eagle owls found dead in west wales a few years back the rspb are very quick to reign any in the only natural predator for the falcon but of course the peregrine loving white knuckle ride gang have the public hoodwinked and so the carnage of pigeons and song birds goes on

Yes it's about time they did something about it I went to my uncle's the other day And he had a hawk attack a young one Left it in the next door's garden with a hole in its back It was still alive Can't imagine getting eaten alive what a terrible thing

There was an attempt to introduce eagle owls some time ago, the RSPB opposed it on the grounds that the breed was not a native one.

The real pity is that the RPRA did not take this mater seriously 40 odd years ago when the Scottish fanciers started having problem and warned us about them,

Never mind. the Raptor Alliance has everything in hand'
