the first picture is from a sparrowhawk. the others are from a peregrine attack last week. it caught this bird and landed 3 fields away and was attacked by a buzzard which then let her go. she came back the next day, 20+ stiches later shes doing ok but still not sure if she will survive. she had a hole in her crop the size of a 50p, stiches and superglue have given her a chance, the same attack i have had a youngbird reported in redruth about 55 miles away. had them attacked wednesday still missing some

 

6 weeks ago i had 29 old birds to race and 31 youngbirds. i now have 13 old birds and 24 youngbirds.
