They say up to 430 pairs.

Then again they say 1500 pairs of peregrine

35,000 pr Sparrowhawk

so what do you believe

The public see a bop and think how wonderful I dont think they know the full extent of the problem bloke at work loves peres poor sod he told me they were very rare until I told him of several nest sites that I know of through the grapevine of pigeon lads having problems with them he didnt believe how many there were itsthe media telling lies that causes a lot of it theres many more sites we dont know of as I said in another post if we dont act soon pigeon keeping will cease to exist dont say you were not warned

I hope u don't get them m8 but as u know it will prob happen sooner rather than later

[William Reid]

like i say lads if these birds even reach 1/4 of the numbers of falcons its game over for us all we will become the rare breed and im not trying to scare people here

[TheHigg]

i take it you have her address then mate time to give her door a KNOCK :emoticon-0138-thinking:

[gulkie]

I had it from a good source that the RSPB released a pair of goss hawks in 2011 at the site of the perchy pond in Lanarkshire that year I lost 7 birds before the racing started saw a couple of attacks take place but to far away to say what they we're.I believe this year will be one of the worst as we have not had a hard enough winter to kill some of them of.

[TheHigg]

FKN SCAREY THATS YOURE BACK GARDEN MATE :emoticon-0138-thinking:

[walterboswell59]

i have been saying for months that we have a big problem wull as im seeing them everywhere i go all the guys that have been keeping there birds locked up for the winter and not locking a couple out that they can afford to lose are in for a shock by doing nothing the problem has and will keep getting worse and only a few are trying to do anything about it but as long as we are few we will not have any impact together we could sort the problem we need to stop burrying or heads in the sand or our sport is finnished

I lost a good racing hen today to a peregrine. I know that living in Moffat you just have to grin and bear it but it is hard not to become discouraged at this game.As far as protective legislation goes anyone who thinks it wil ever happen in Scotland is living in a dream world.

[walterboswell59]

just wait till the training starts walt its going to be a nightmare m8

WRONG

[cemetary]

WRONG

 

Same old story rises its ugly head at this time ower the year, what have people done to help themselves once again, NOWT.

 

Del your right.

[knoxjn]

was at a pigeon panel a few weeks back one of the guys told us that if the peregrine is having a bad nest they replenish the nest with young from the people that breed them in aviaries so that takes nature right out of it and we should be able to do something about them but I agree think its already too late

[Walter swanston]

WRONG

 

I am talking about legislation against predators attacking racing pigeons,I do not think it is gonna happen
