Anyone else see the Peregrine Falcon fly into the North Stand yesterday?

[Jameson]

Flew across the stadium, dipped, folded back it's wings then swooped up into the rafters on the west side of the north stand where it roosted peacefully. Impressive sight. Iv'e seen one before at The Amex in the west stand rafters, I assume the same bird.

Yes. Though my companions kept rabbiting on about it being a pigeon. It sat on the rafters just to the right of us in G block. Nice to see it back again.

There is a peregrine falcon nesting at the Amex, and has been for quite a while. There are photographs on Nsc.

 

[OzMike]

Sorry, missed that.
It will keep the pigeon population down.

 

[Rogero]

It was a seagull.

Who was flying it CHEWBACCA or hands SOLO?

Pigeon

All the wrong feathers but not necessarily in the right order. If you people aren't slagging off the attendance figures you're demeaning our falcon. It has to stop!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It was a seagull.

You want some?

 

[Bombadier Botty]

I thought it was The Judge's ego coming home to roost in the North yesterday, not a bird of prey. Think I need an eye test!

 

[DanielT]

was it him who set fire to the light?

 

[Hamilton]

You want some?

That bird appears to have hand puppet bird of some sort.

 

[perseus]

I have seen one before arrive for a night game and then fly away.

Seen it in the West Stand rafters twice this season (Fulham & maybe Middlesborough) , saw it quite a few times last season.
