Published on Jan 28, 2013 18 Jan 2013 at 0843. Intruding falcon gets mobbed. The story in short: An unknown, un-ringed intruding falcon came to the box at 0843. Note the very speckled breast, unlike the resident female. After a while she was aggressively mobbed [0:30], most likely by a resident bird although the flybys are so fast that even using video at 25 frames per second an accurate idenification could not be made. The intruder eventually left the box and a couple of hours later the original pair returned to do a bit of pair bonding. All calm at the moment, but who knows for how long. These diputes for territory are natural and nature will take its course. This activity may indicate that peregrines are starting to establish nesting sites ready for the new season. www.hawkandowl.org (http://www.hawkandowl.org) Title: Re: Norwich Cathedral Peregrines 2013 Post by: Donna on 28-Jan-13, 06:59:31 PM From the youtube page...
