Peregrine with Green Woodpecker by Dave Pearce.
What makes an Urban Peregrine tick?
I have been studying Urban Peregrines for the past 22 years looking at what they eat and where young travel once they leave the nest.
During this time I have been working with others to discover that:
-
Many colour-ringed Peregrines hatched from nests in the west of England head to the east and north-east of the UK
-
Over 100 species of bird are eaten by Urban Peregrines from Kingfishers to Blackcaps; feral/domesticated pigeons make up a third of the Urban Peregrine diet.
