Peregrine Falcon.

Hi,

For the last 4 weeks or so we have had a peregrine falcon which seems to have taken up residence somewhere near our house.

Can someone tell me if this would have harmed of scared away our long standing Rite Kite breeding pair as we have not seen them or their young since the Falcons appearance.

Also is it a possibility that the Falcon belongs to someone- ie the military air base close to us? I know they have used them to clear runway of birds! Should I contact the base?

Hope someone can help.

We are not bird experts in any shape but have loved watching our beautiful Red Kites and their young for 5 years and would be upset to have lost them.

Many thanks

Duncan and Gill
