Falcons

[Racers]

Hi, Chaps

The falcons are back and have laid one egg, hopefully they will be o/k this year, last years rain was very bad for them, no chicks survived.
Have a look here http://www.ntu.ac.uk/ecoweb/biodiversit ... index.html
I was the other side of the window today and it sounded like they where having a right old barney.

We have Red Kites here. They are quite common. Worth moving to this area just for them.

Falcons too would be amazing.

I watched those last year!

Along with my local(er) ones on Norwich Cathedral

I hate feral pigeons, and feeding a Peregrine chick is an excellent use for them...

Awesome!
Thanks for posting the link.
I assume it's Dad looking decidedly p*****d off that Mum is on the warm nest and he's on lookout in the snow this morning!

Not sure if Falcons are cannibalistic as a lot of bird species are-but one of the clutch is only half the size of the other two :?
