Peregrines barred from church premises following mealtime fumble (1 Viewer)

Bit of a over-reaction - gotta agree with the poster on the link with what are the chances of that happening once, let alone twice?!? And, as said above, get that video off to Harry Hill now!! I know birds crapping on you is supposed to be lucky, but not sure what's said about pigeon heads....:-O
 
'Brideshead revisited' for sure if it were to happen again ... ;)

... A new and macabre meaning to the 'Dove from Above' ... ?

Bizarre. Maybe they don't have to net the whole steeple - maybe a little rim around the edge or something?
 
Or just bar church weddings - more Peregrines attend church these days anyway than most prospective wedding couples ;)
 
"Shocking" at least it was a pigeon head! as the church near us we have Peregrine and a lot more than pigeon heads have been found all round the church;)

i.e

[FONT=&quot]Woodcock 6
Teal 5
Blackbird 7
Golden Plover 5 perhaps 6
Fieldfare 1
Lapwing 1
Common Tern 1
Black-headed Gull 2
Starling at least 2
Chaffinch 1
Knot 1
Collared dove 1
Feral pigeon 6+
Little Grebe 1
Redwing 2
Snipe 1
And, [possibly] a dotterel. It's definitely the right legs for it and although plucked there are still some downy orange feathers remaining counting out ringed plover, little ringed plover or Kentish. Looking on the Internet Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire do see dotterel passing through.

And these have been comfirmed :t:
