Fact Of The Day – What They Feed On…
The Peregrines feed almost solely on medium-sized birds such as pigeons, waterfowl and waders. Globally, it is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 bird species (around 1/5th of all species worldwide) are predated somewhere by peregrines. In urban areas, the main component of the Peregrine’s diet is the Feral Pigeon, which cover 80% or more of the diet. Other common city birds are also taken: Wood Pigeons, Swifts, and Starlings. Bats are rarely taken, but when they are, it is at dusk.

Fact Of The Day – Sizes Of Peregrines…
Everyday (or as often as we can), for the rest of the season, we will be putting a different fact up about peregrines. Today is the first one and I thought about the size of peregrines. Peregrine Falcons have reverse sexual dimorphism in size; this means that the Female is larger than the male, by up to 30%! In addition, the Males weigh just 580 – 750 grams, while females weigh 925 grames – 1.3 Kg.
The photo below, taken from our webcam, demonstrates this…
