    Naughty behaviour!

    The biggest killers of fancy pigeons is likely to be the pigeon keepers themselves since they would not want to feed and maintain an inferior pigeon. These inferior birds are nearly always culled. I would suggest to anyone who is loosing there prize birds to BoP to hold back some of these...

    Naughty behaviour!

    For a few years now a work colleague has reported to me that a Peregrine is taking his sons Rollers when he lets them out to train. He was convinced that the peregrines involved was the same one as the Peregrines I watch at work. He lives about a mile away in direct line with the Peregrines...

    Back from Pembroke.

    Yes we saw the choughs at the north side of the main land near St Brides Bay. I was also watching a Peregrine Falcon (you might of guessed) flying with a large flock of lesser and greater black back gulls. The gulls were following a tractor that was ploughing a field and I thought it strange...

    A different Raptor from me for a change?

    Took a ride out today with our Gert to Rutland water and to see if we could find one of the returning Ospreys. We were very lucky and on two seperate occasions were witness to three Ospreys at the same time! Two females one ringed 5N and the other unringed, were disputing the occupancy of a...

    Ringed Peregrine.

    Not to sure about the G anymore but the H4 looks promising. I am in the process of tracing a fledgling bird that was rescued from a road way below the nest site 9 years ago. The bird was collected by the RSPCA to be checked over then returned and released the same day. I am pretty sure the...

    Fuerteventura 10th-17th March 2010

    Nice report, again brought back memories as my wife and I were there in December 2008. It sounds as though we were in the same area as an unused golf coarse was at the back of our hotel the other side of a main road. I managed to photograph a Sacred Ibis, Berthelots Pipit, Canary island Chat...
