Today I read sad and good news of the peregrines in Barcelona.
Last Wednesday (21/4/2010) a passer-by came across the female peregrine falcon of the Sagrada Familia pair in the street. It was mortally wounded and after being taken to the Torreferrussa wildlife centre it had to be put down. We are not sure what happened to the bird. The three peregrine chicks have lost their mother, and although the male could continue to feed them when they are small, he would probably find it very difficult to raise them to fledglings and may well even abandon them when they start to grow. As a result, it has been decided to take two of the chicks, who are female, to a peregrine breeder, so he can feed them until they can be hacked and released.
One chick, a male, has been left in the nest, which the father will probably be able to feed and raise.
