St. Peter's Catholic church apparently have them nesting at the top of the church tower too, according to Fr John.

Wonderful they can breed in peace in the town. I have been hearing strange bird call in the mornings, I wonder if it is the falcons.

Beautiful looking bird

[Lex]

Yes it is. It's a shame we don't see them in the wild more often.

Looks like the falcons are a permanent fixture: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/fastest-birds-world-build-nest-18058265

It is great to seem them back nesting in a safe place.

I think in the wild their eggs probably get taken by humans , or other by other predatory animals.

Coventry's claim to fame...

He has had further convictions since this article. He used to use the same pub as the late Mrs. R and myself. She always wanted to smack him one.

I couldn't read the whole of the article ,Rebbonk, I've got to subscribe first. I read a bit of it though. Glad they caught the nutcase.

Thanks for that Rebbonk, I could now read the article in full.

How did you get rid of that page with subscription only?

[rebbonk]

I don't know. An odd computer glitch?

Are we being watched? <put's tin foil hat on>

[Lex]

An ironic bit of advertising under the Cov. Telegraph article - building up a nest egg!

[rebbonk]

Hadn't noticed that, Lex. :)

[Lex]

I don't usually pay any attention to the adverts, but that one just caught my eye.
