  • In reply to monkeycheese:

    Paul, I've just had an e-mail from Mr GB. He is apologetic and says there are two Peregrines in that hospital bay and he was looking at the wrong one this morning--sorry. Your bird is still eating well but the vet has not yet given Cedric any clear description of your bird's problem and we cannot know what may happen next. The note to me was very brief (lunch time, I expect) so I was not told if your bird had been to the vet yesterday or not. I hope there will be more news this afternoon, but I probably will not hear anything more until after 6 pm when Mr GB gets home. I hope we can get another update later on Friday since we are both going there for an event and will see Cedric again then, with any luck.

    Edit:  Hope you see this before speaking with Cedric!

    Kind regards, Ann

  • Good to know he's seen them!

  • As some of you may recall, I decided to engage the renowned taxidermist Derek Frampton to work his magic on the body of the unfortunate P3S who was put to sleep a few months back. P3S had damaged both feet as a result of what we believe was likely a collision with a building. Having completed the relevant paperwork P3S was sent to Derek in the middle of July and this evening he drove down from Kings Langley to return P3S to me. All I can say is that the results are awesome! There is a local company that makes bespoke display cases, so I will be getting one soon. Here are two photos of P3S. He looks as stunning now as he did in life.

  • Even better he made him with his wings open.

  • I specifically requested that. Seemed appropriate.

  • Thanks, Paul, for the photos of this beautiful youngster. Perhaps we could say he had a good (but far too short) life up until his final injury, poor little fellow. Fingers crossed that he has lots of siblings in future years of Peregrines breeding at Kingston.

    Kind regards, Ann

  • Is there a 2022 thread for the Kingston Peregrines, please? This is the 'most recent' in a search of the Forum.

    Paul and anyone else who may be interested, there is a thread about a Forumate meet-up at Leighton Moss at the end of June. I will bump it up (if I can find it--lol!)

    Kind regards, Ann
