Walter swanston Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I know the general consensus may well be that nothing will happen, but if we do not complete and assist such research then we are our own worst enemy, we see posts everywhere about what is causing the end of pigeon racing and we see Bop and clashing and bad management, but I think apathy should also be on the list. At least if we are giving this good coverage whether it be on facebook pages forums or magazines, then hopefully when the researchers come to compile their results, and they have several hundred responses or even thousands then they will realise that there IS a problem. Yes the results will be interesting and the number of responses too ATBPaul
Walter swanston Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Please forgive my cynicism Mr. Stokes but I have spent years of my life in the campaign against avian predators to little avail.I live in a beautiful part of Scotland where tourists are encouraged to visit and view the magnificent Peregrine Falcons
johnc Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 you dont honestly believe the company doing this will give out the correct result especially when the have a perigrine box on their building that breeds young every year i have been watching this webcam for years and when there are four big young in the nest they bring about four or five homers a day they also say they give the rings found to the rpra every year, they have not cleaned out the box this year i see the pair starting to prepare the nest site on the old gravel from last year i wonder why
Guest johnhunter Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Have a look at the RPRA Hawkwatch map. Very few places where there are no reports. The country is saturated with these airborne killers.the hawkwatch map has been taken of line
Tony C Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 the hawkwatch map has been taken of lineYou'll find it here http://www.rpra.org/raptor-alliance/
philg50 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I have filled in the survey but i cant see why its asked to identify the predators ,i personally dont run in for my bird book to see what it is ,i just know its a hawk.
Upsndoons Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 Would be interesting to know how many pigeon folk respond to the survey,be it on here or via the postal versions in the pigeon press. How many fanciers are there in total in th UK ?

Assume reason is how can you fill in questions if you don't know the species causing the damage.

Something to think about there eh
