Kyleakin Lofts Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I wonder whether they are taking to nesting on the rigs as well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddymac Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 ive read that sparrowhawks migrate from norway sweden area to scotland for the winter probably resting on rigs and taking a meal while thereAnd adding to the numbers we already have here in Britian and Ireland, bleeding nightmare for anyone trying to get their latebreds out flying.

Rainman Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I also read that when a bird of pray migrates to this country it stays so if thats true there must be about as much birds of prey in this country as there is pigeons also the rspb says theres only 1 bird of prey per 17 mile radius what a load of bollocks when i leave work i must see at least 6 or 7 somedays even more of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
