frank-123 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 http://www.sasa.gov.uk/pesticide_wildlife/wiis/reports.cfm thought this was a good site the rspb keep going on about the birds that are being killed by chemicals doesnt look a lot to me oh and they quote in there response to the relocation of sparrowhawks in scotland the wise words of prof ian newton who is an expert in the sparrow hawk field they just forgot to mention he is the chairman of the rspb council http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/sparrowhawksandpigeons_tcm9-187597.pdf http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/sparrowhawksand%20pigeonsannex_tcm9-187598.pdf
Guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 lost my first bird timed in the 2007 young bird national SNRPC yesterday off the loft,third time in within a week its had a go.lucky for me its the only one it got,but what a one to get ,gutted.
jimmy white Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 very interesting bart,, only looked at birds poisoned at last check 2007 no sparrowhawks or perigrines , so no blame on fanciers for that, the other statistical lot from the rspb [my pal in first postings on hawks post on sticky,,,,,,,,racing pigeon page] my old freind duncan hiven ewing ready to give statistics to birds killed by hawks, these statistics are completely and utterly wrong and especially HE should realize that,, especialy the ??? p.c lost , the reason for the ??? p.c lost are a from the direct cause of the perigrine,,,,,,,,,,,i have wittnessed a batch of roughly one hundred pigeons being attacked by one perigrine ,,,,it killed one to eat , i would say the rest of the batch would have a hard job getting home , some were killed in hitting walls [yes walls, straight into them with blind panick] some diving for cover in the pine or fir trees , straight through the branches , some being killed , some being injured and ALL losing their senses by sheer panick . i have also seen this with my own birds about 40 y,bs lib at carter bar , breeder buyer one killed some couple of miles from me , got there , dead , half eaten , the rest hitting cars , lorries [thankfully not causing serious accident on roads] some flying through the dense trees ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,3 pigeons home that night, next day another 9 , some with broken legs , some with secondries missing ,flights broken etc. so when is this Duncan" hiven"Orr going to realize that the percentage he puts down as mere" lost "are in fact lost due to the hawks terrifying them ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as he works with percentages ,,,, i wonder what his answer would be to, "of the percentage of lost pigeons, , what percentage is" lost" due directly to the perigrine[,terrifying them, causing death and disablement to the pigeon], which have been prooved to be multiplying [with the help of the rspb] speedier than ever ????????

Guest G.Drysdale + son Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 James Burnside in the loft next to me had a bird taken by a hawk about 10 days ago it stripped it to a skeleton.
jimmy white Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 it makes you wonder if we had a petition signed by every fancier in the uk , and, through pigeon basics , handed this personally in to 10 downing st ,,,,,,,,,,,it may not do much in the houses of parliament , but the news papers and tv would have a field day, with a few horror stories for the public , then , who knows ,,,,it could be a start
Guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 witnesed two of the three,unfortunally not there for the most important one,no carcuss anywere to be seen so it.so think it may well be the perigine rather than the sparrowhawk,thats life,in sayiny that the perigine should be on the nest so dont really know.the cock was chasing her mabee she thought it was the cock behind her. :o
