I'm afraid so John, no reds, mealies or grizzles here. And infact my best doos every year have been cheqs or cheq white flights, never finished a season with a blue bar as my best. That may be coincidence though as majority in the loft are now cheqs.

Had no idea Jim, guy who worked at the Baron's Hough reserve told me Pieds Grizzles reds mealy' etc were an easier target because they are easily picked out against the terrain below. No idea if he is right either but just looking at my own team the more white about them the higher percentage are lost compared to Cheq Blues etc, which supports his observations.

I think, like cats, etc, they see hot colours better. Some sort of infra-red like vision. I have seen this highlighted on nature programs, so I expect falcons will be similar to other predators in that respect. :)
