I would hazzard a guess and say there could be peregrines within a 10 mile radius of any Lib site in the UK.

I can understand how this may affect our birds and this maybe the reason for birds taking longer to clear racepoints but if the birds were left to their own devices they would eventually clear and return home.IMO when the birds struggle to get their bearings and are hanging around in big batches their being hit,those things can spot prey from miles away.

Totally agree,but everyone seems to try and find different reasons for the losses.Its clear as day IMO.

Came in with youngsters tonight.

unsung hero's of war.Our pigeons have a major factor on where we are now.They don't get the recognition they deserve.The birds we fly today are descendants of the birds that saved this country,yet we get people who try to protect and promote a bird that is killing the bird that we as a country should be so grateful too.
