Watched the 7.30 news this morning and on it the RSPB have stated that there has been a 91% decline in the Turtle Dove population,again they have blamed farmers for not enough set aside for small wild seed,can't see that being a problem because there is over 20 Million wood pigeons,maybe there size puts the majority of the hawks of attacking them,but the public hearing this will think wrongly that it is a farming problem and not a RSPB problem for allowing the hawk population to get out of control.

the rspb have a million plus membership massive publicity machine and i am affraid that the facts about predation are true, but there is another side to the coin what the public dont understand and need to see,its this we need to put forward

any person living near a peregrine nest site how many pairs are in your town or city what distance are you from the nest site,month of most attacks dose the falcon carry the prey to nest site, is the nest site natural or man made are the falcons staying at nest site through the winter instead of ranging.how often do the juveniles stay or even return once fledged. one fact for you there is a great danger of nest site imprinting in young falcons this is why more falcons are turning up in towns and citys also the prey is avalible all year round during the breeding season 36% of prey items are pigeon feral or otherwise but birds on the red list are also in our towns.now in london pairs of peregrines are remaining at nest sites all year and not ranging this puts added pressure on red list birds in towns and citys as the peregrine hunts local to its nest site and dose not use other food sources estuarys etc as the peregrine has a vast prey source.also the peregrine has been noted to hunt in darkness due to the extra light in towns and citys and it has been recorded that birds classed as critical have been taken over citys at night while migrating.
