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.

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

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...

Telegraph

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.

Sorry Margaret I didn't realise it was behind a paywall. Here he is again, a couple of years later...

Coventry Telegraph

Some people simply don't learn!

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

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

I don't know. An odd computer glitch?

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

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

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