    Peregrine Falcons site

    Just started working in Leigh this year and as I'm a keen birder I'll keep my eyes open. I was looking at the main large Mill building earlier in the season but so far haven't see any Peregrines. Used to work in Liverpool and there were a couple of pairs that I used to see there on a regular basis.

    Buzzard takes Oprey chick, Scotland.

    Hi Irish Kite. Spot on with your comments as usual. Buzzards are oportunists like all birds of prey and will from time to time take items of prey that may surprise us. I have seen one pluck a young Magpie from a group of about 6 birds gathered together in a tree before any of them saw it...

    RSPB stunned by Defra plan to 'imprison' buzzards (RSPB)

    What are you prattling on about? Mark Avery's blog is informative, well written, balanced and witty. His overall knowledge of conservation matters in the UK is probably without equal. May I suggest you subscribe, then perhaps you could offer more of an educated and balanced argument than the...

    RSPB stunned by Defra plan to 'imprison' buzzards (RSPB)

    "No matter what we conservationists think, shooting is a big rural industry and a general 'protector' of habitat" You're having a laugh!

    Excellent article, and one of many by Mark Avery in his blog regarding this idiotic study organised by DEFRA and funded by the taxpayer. http://markavery.info/2012/05/29/buzzards-2/

    RSPB stunned by Defra plan to 'imprison' buzzards (RSPB)

    Thought that would rattle your cage! The impact of Pheasants on the shooting industry should not be paid for by the taxpayer. It is a subject of commercial interest to a few rich toffs – it is not about conserving this countries native fauna. Let them pay for it, they still seem to have most...

    RSPB stunned by Defra plan to 'imprison' buzzards (RSPB)

    "It is as outrageous as it is incredible that the Wildlife minister, wealthy landowner and keen shot Richard Benyon, has sanctioned the blasting to bits of buzzards' nests in the interests of the owners of pheasant-shooting estates. It is no part of the brief of the minister responsible for...

    Sparrowhawks responsible for House Sparrow decline says scientist

    [Should Bell be silenced/ignored/vilified/laughed at?] I'd go for ignored or laughed at.

    RSPB stunned by Defra plan to 'imprison' buzzards (RSPB)

    Trystan, May I respectfully suggest that Pheasant shoot owners work on ways in which reduce Pheasant collisions with cars, and DEFRA get back to doing what they ought to be doing which is protecting this countries native species, not persecuting them!
