Thanks for the heads up about these interesting videos.  I don't know if the rather close pairing is unusual or not...  With even yet a somewhat limited number of choices in mates, perhaps it happens more than one would think and also, as the numbers continue to increase, that it will probably become less necessary...  Or, maybe that's just the way it is!  The information about their diet was very interesting!  Certainly the Bath peregrines really have a varied diet -- including duck and other water birds, that gave them one of their names, the Duck Falcon!

Thanks again!
