5 now :D

Did you actually see the Falcon?

Yep. You can tell it from a mile off.

Interestingly I've just seen a Sparrowhawk over my parents house in Woodingdean which is awesome.

In Burgess Hill in the woods not far from our place I took my daughter on a night walk with a torch and saw a Tawny Owl in a tree.

Saw my first Kestrel in a while along the Falmer Road last weekend too.

There is also a pair of Buzzards that must nest close as they're always low over the house on a regular basis.

Birds of Prey seem to be thriving in Sussex!

If you were that pissed, it could have been anything. Like a pigeon or something. Or a crow.

I did see a bird fly up to the roof supports in the WSU, think this was half time, I couldn’t see exactly where it went as it was further along the stand from where I sit.

I regularly see Buzzards and Kestrels between Newhaven and Lewes, also had a Sparrowhawk in my garden a few times.

That'll be it then. It's been there for about 8 years now, maybe more.

Lots of Buzzards around the edges of Brighton now, but not so many Kestrels. I've had a sparrowhawk with ideas above it's station take out a pigeon and a dove in my garden over the course of this summer (think I put pictures on NSC) and even saw a Red Kite up by Ditchling Beacon.

I've seen the Peregrine sitting above the WSU at the Amex a few times (agree it's very distinctive) and I know they tend to go for cliffs and high buildings, so wonder if it may actually nest somewhere round the Amex ?
