Peregrine falcon seen at the Amex

[SouthCoastOwl]

Spotted it from my seat in Block B during the second half, but didn't know what it was. I just knew it wasn't a pidgeon or a seagull.

Cute

checked, National Geographic have 242mph ..............

(I set a fundraising quiz for the RSPB a coupe of times a year)

and yes, that certainly looks like Falco perigrinus (one of the easier names to remember)

Not a Falco subbuteo

Looking up the peregrin falcon on the RSPB website, it says they eat pigeons (which is good) and ducks (don't tell the residents of Falmer)

~But not bats? We don't want Perigrine / Bat collisions.

Now confirmed as a shitehawk from Whitehawk.

How very dare you! I'm not from Whitehawk. But I too saw the peregrine in west upper and thought it was a juvenile.

I think Uncle Spielberg is possibly thinking of pelicans?

Don't be too sure about that! Peregrines inhabit the mountains behind me & on more than one occasion have observed them take horseshoe bats from my garden at dusk time in the summer. I since found out from the BTO that they are known to do this in the some of the cathedral sites in the UK. They take advantage of the floodlighting on the buildings, now that could be super viewing at The Amex later on!

No reported sightings of our feathered friend at the Donny game?

That's good to know....thanks.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Thought we may have parted during the transfer window as Palarse are short on quality birds.

Good to have kept this pacy winger.

I didn't see it yesterday, but saying that I was drunk.......

Not drinking this were you?

I saw it during the 2nd half of the Donny game too, which was the first time I'd ever spotted it. At the time it looked like we wouldn't score, but I remember thinking to myself "at least I saw the Peregrine"

Peregrine arrived at 66 minutes. Got bored and flew away.

Above WSU G tonight. Must bring bins and monster zoom camera next time!

 

[Norman Potting]

Is someone going to try and compose a peregrine song??

Damn, it was right above me - I kept looking over towards D for our feathered friend.
