Michael Viney writes a wonderful natural history column every week in The Irish Times. It is called "Another Life" and is always worth checking. Thought you would all be interested in this piece.

Pigeons are put ahead of falcons in Ireland.

This should no surprise for a country with the 5th highest unemployment rate and 6th highest alcohol consumption rate in the world.

Looks like they value pigeons over eagles as well.  Roll Eyes

Interesting & disturbing- how anyone could harm a bird as beautiful and majestic as a peregrine falcon is beyond my range of thinking..
