Peregrine Locations Rspb Fact!

[rikki]

Peregrines are widespread in the UK through the western part of England, and in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. In southeast and east England they are found on a small number of isolated sites, though their range is slowly spreading.

 

They reach their highest densities in upland areas of Wales, southern Scotland and northwest England. The UK population was estimated at 1,400 pairs in 2002.

 

this was taken from rspb web site ,who wants to fly west route?

Rikki that was done by the liars and protectors of small bird murderers, 9/10 years ago. I,m pretty sure the east has caught up with the west by now. 1400 pairs equals another 2800(2003) the following year followed by 5600(2004), 11,200(2005), 22,400(2006), 44,800 (2007), 89,600 (2008), 179,200 (2009, 358,400 (2010) and 716,800 (2011). Now take away natural/deliberate death and bad hatches ect we would be left with about half a million breeding pairs. Spread that across territories and you have the whole of britain pretty much cover. And thats working on a figure given by the liars.

yes on every race the lanarkshire has, and i am only talking about the lanarkshire races, we suffer 500 strikes per race, that is based on the birds that come home from it, with a feather missing only. of the fatality's per race, it must be 200 missing in every race never to return. and ill challenge any fancier here on that, as being true figures.

you have made a brave attempt alex to count, but the bit you miss is they rear 4 in the nest and should one survive and the second year they then breed one who in turn

quadruple in breeding makes it a even bigger amount you have only doubled the score when it should be 1/3 every year added every year since then you also have forgot to add the gosshawk, to the account.

I don`t know about numbers but it has been widely acknowledged for years that Cumbria has more Peregrine Falcons than anywhere in Western Europe.

I read that that Cumbria has the Largest Peregrine population in the WORLD no just western Europe.

does not matter where we go hawks r everywhere even in our own back gardens

[lanarkshire lad]

does not matter where we go hawks r everywhere even in our own back gardens

We know they are everywhere but not in the same numbers as in Cumbria thats a FACT.

[stevie]

Do some thing about it then nogood talking about it

if there is suitable nesting places and there is an abundance of prey you have them in equel numbers where ever you go ! FACT !

a hear u danny, i was balancing it oot a bit, but yer right there are 4 per nest which would then double the numbers that i have stated. far too many but we hear it all the time, just got to deal with it me feels, which is ongoing all the time.

just for any western route fanciers that do not have a clue that cumbria is on the west side of the country ,and after reading that it 1has been known by some time by keen twitchers and there like ,most heavely populated area for raptors quote.fact as the old song goes whos sorry now!

[Walter swanston]

Any Scottish Federation including my own that makes a democratic decision to race up through Cumbria should be well aware of the potentially fatal risks to our birds,and I know that there are pergrine falcons everywhere but Cumbria is something else----------------we have all seen it down here

Sorry for what?

Raced both sides recently nae diffo in returns or racin! Both pretty poor returns wise and with the occasional very dodgy race!

[rikki]

most birds are lost not thru been eaten by bop but are sent unconditioned and unprepaired ,talk to any fancier at the top of there game and ask how there returns are, and you will soon relise that there husbandry with there teams seams to have the anwswer to returns ,the discussion was about avoiding populated areas and not a blaming a culture

[jocky]

I read that that Cumbria has the Largest Peregrine population in the WORLD no just western Europe.

very funny why that is the case remembering that 90% of racing pigeons fly the east route.

[blackdog]

all returns are the same here in cumbria mate, everyones suffering

[jocky]

all returns are the same here in cumbria mate, everyones suffering

my point exatly ther are every bloody where.

[tyson]

we midlothian fed raced youngbirds down west route this year and there was no where near the losses we were getting on the east side of the country
