Peregrines

[Shortcut Lofts]

2 Peregrines have decided once again to nest in the Moira area N Ireland. These birds have hit my pigeons the last 2 times they were out, killing on the second visit. The birds are now confined to the loft. The peregrines have hit many batches on race days, particularly the batches heading towards the Ballymena area as we are in their line of flight, and they have also hit the Fed pigeons on occasions. This is another new pair to the area as the last pair dissappeared??. Any fanciers concerned or want to know more can send me a pm. They were last spotted at 8.30am yesterday morning where i seen them fly for 15 mins before dropping. They are located in the Maralin quarry area. Best looked at now as opposed to March or April.

Just shown a Peregrine attack on a Swarm of Bats!!!

[Guest stevie-b]

i would have some antails put poison on the back of there necks clip there wings and tit them to roof of loft once they have a bite they wont be back

[REDROCKET]

Never mind perigrins on the site i've worked on for over the past year ive been seeing the remains of dead ferrule pigeons and kept an eye out for the killer what i thought was going to be a sparrow hawk at least.  To my amazement i saw the killer in action yesterday two of them infact they attact the pigeon and broke its wing before going in for the slauter one hour later there was hardly anything left of the pigeon . crows unreal  ps sorry for using this thread but dont know how to open one yet.
