No need for me to watch peregrines on TV. Had the real thing this morning when a peregrine attacked my team whilst out for exercise. Have experienced this for the last six seasons now and peregrines are seen almost daily sitting on a ledge of a chimney stack approximately 800 yards from my loft. They usually move on and nest elsewhere during April, quicker the better and give the pigeons and myself some peace.

endflight, unfortunately I have not heard anything of the Zaccarinni family for many years and their shop is no longer.

Endflight, my late grandfather , Donnelly Brothers [Dundee] had a Blue Ch Hen bred out of your fathers Charlie Cock via Joe Zaccarinni [Dundee]. This hen was bred in the 50s and produced a winner every season in her 12 years. Donnelly Brothers retired from the sport in 1976 and many of the final team of birds could be traced back to the A.B.King hen.
