Guest TAMMY_1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 i watched it lastnight on tv very good aye was same one, bbc are getting worse now , a repeat 24 hours later
mac1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 is it the same program thats showing pigeons next week
jimmy white Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 i didnt see it last night ,, but did tonight
jimmy white Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 is it the same program thats showing pigeons next week yes i would also like to know that
mac1 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 not sure if it was that one jimmy,what was the perigrine program called that you just watched :-/
pj1001 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 As far as I know yes. Depending on your regions thought I think the day and times of screened vary. In Ireland it is being screened this Wednesday around 8-00pm, repeated on Sundays again as far as I am aware. If the program trailer advertised iscorrect this weeks program will show the relationships between pigeons in the cities and peregrines, no doubt with an RSPB slant on it. PJ

PJ maybe put that raptor website on pj,, very interesting, especially , brain washing the kids to do a" composition" of them
pj1001 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Raptor website http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/raptors/ They had a programe on BBC Northern Ireland about this raptor webiste last week, they interviewed Alan Darragh briefly on peregrines and pigeon racing in his area. In the program they said they knew of 35 pair in County Antrim alone which seems high for the radius of the county. I think the programt is being repeated this coming Wednesday again around 7-8pm,(well according to this weeks Tv Guide). To watch it you will need to be able to tune into BBC Northern Ireland though to pick it up as it is a local program. It might be possible to pick this up on Sky I'm not sure. PJ
Guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 The repeat programme was prog 2 of 8, Nature of Britain and its presented by Alan [the] tit marsh - loves percies. The next prog is Wednesday 24th, BBC1 9pm - in Dundee and Newcastle- tho doesn't mention pigeons.
pj1001 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 The programe on BBC on Wednesday night is called 'The Nature of Britain' and is presented by Alan Titchmarsh. This is its website http://www.bbc.co.uk/earth/nature/uk/natureofbritain/
jimmy white Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 another worth looking at from" sammy ,especially the raptors bit" is http://www.scottishgamekeepers.co.uk [on birds of prey posts]

jimmy white Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 take the test on previous posts questions on perigrines?????
EAGLEOWL Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 http://www.save-songbirds.co.uk/ this is the way to help solve the problem with peregrines etc ,no one will listern to pigeonmen moaning about the loss of a pigeon to hawks ,when they see towns full of feral pigeons making a mess . the publics opinion is there all flying rats ,but they all like little robin red breast.have a look some good reading
jimmy white Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 your quite right eagle owl ,,,,,, another worth joining is" song bird survival" [which im a member of] e,mail,, dawn-chorus@songbirdsurvival.org.uk web www.songbird-survival.org.uk all these together, and us with the public on this side ,,and to get the public on the pigeon fanciers side , as ive said b4 ,, first ever ,,for charity a relay fly round brittain , this would make big news ,,,the pro officers of the charity would make sure of that ,,,,,,,,but if any of these pigeons were to be attacked by hawks ,,,,this would make bigger news [this along with the war pigeons , the dicken medal winners ,pigeons that saved thousands of lives , most ordinary folks dont know about these and there stories ,,, i think the public would see pigeons in another light, [everything is worth a try, and asi said b4 ,remember david beat goliath songbird-survival. on the web
DOVEScot Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 http://www.save-songbirds.co.uk/ this is the way to help solve the problem with peregrines etc ,no one will listern to pigeonmen moaning about the loss of a pigeon to hawks ,when they see towns full of feral pigeons making a mess . the publics opinion is there all flying rats ,but they all like little robin red breast.have a look some good reading True we are a minority that like flying rats so not much sympathy from the general public, game bird takings as well will get a lot of publicity and money spent but general public think it is a money making sport But show them eating their wee birds that they spend millions of pounds collectively fedding and that's a different story altogether :-/
EAGLEOWL Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 your quite right eagle owl ,,,,,, another worth joining is" song bird survival" [which im a member of] e,mail,, dawn-chorus@songbirdsurvival.org.uk web ; www.songbird-survival.org.uk all these together, and us with the public on this side ,,and to get the public on the pigeon fanciers side , as ive said b4 ,, first ever ,,for charity a relay fly round brittain , this would make big news ,,,the pro officers of the charity would make sure of that ,,,,,,,,but if any of these pigeons were to be attacked by hawks ,,,,this would make bigger news [this along with the war pigeons , the dicken medal winners ,pigeons that saved thousands of lives , most ordinary folks dont know about these and there stories ,,, i think the public would see pigeons in another light, [everything is worth a try, and asi said b4 ,remember david beat goliath jimmy these are the things the pigeon sport should be supporting ,yes the idea sounds good ,but what if birds where lost without a hawk attack the rspb would have a field day .the game to play is make the public aware of the loss of the song birds through sparrowhawks etc with the support of all pigeon unions as sponsors. the trouble is what ever the rspb say in the publics mind there correct. thats why they show all these wildlife programmes on the bbc properganda machine. like sparrowhawks help keep down blue tit numbers etc . you see then against us is the loss of thousands of pigeons when racing ,plus the feral population .if all is going wrong im sure they will rerun the million dollar race that showed the sport in a great light .
