It looks amazed at how amazed all you people are.

IIRC most of them have been introduced to the area artificially rather than simply moving in on their own.

Some are natural, Tower Blocks have sealed roofs to ensure that people don't jump off of them (I know... Don't ask), Peregrines sometimes decide to build their nests on the ledges just under the roof of the tower block, it acts exactly like an indent in a high pinnacle of rock, which is their natural nesting place. Pickings are good, pigeons are plentiful, Peregrines actually do extremely well in London, there was something like 60 Pairs known to have nested in Tower Blocks across the UK last year

Hope they have checked their background. Lesser White-Fronted Goose introductions were halted when it was detected that the bird genome had parts of
A) Greylag Goose
B) White-Fronted Goose
C) Siberian, not European, ssp. of LWFG.

And similar things have happened with Peregrines as well, American ssps' genome polluting other populations. That was one of the main reasons why falconry is under strict control in Europe.

San Francisco's peregrine falcons: George and Gracie.

"About George: George's identity was revealed in 2005 by the VID (visual identification) band worn on his left leg. George's VID band reads C/U, and SCPBRG had fitted George with his this band in 1999."

I am so jealous.

[Mefustae]

I am so jealous.

Fiiiine, we'll go out and get you a VID band to wear on your leg, too. Sheesh!

[Admiral_Stones]

Hm, Buzzards. We have lots of them in Switzerland, too bad they don't eat ****ity pigeons.



So it's my job.
