| | | peregrine
Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes. My partner is absolutely besotted with peregrine falcons; he goes on about the ones on the Bristol Downs all the time. I would so love to sponsor one for him for 'you know when' (I still think it's too early to mention the X word) does anyone know who i can get in touch with to make this possible. Thanks for your help. Fi. X X X X

Hi,
I'm not sure of any sponsorship things for Peregrines, but you could try the Hawk and Owl trust, they run Barn Owl nest box sponsorship so they may do a similar thing for a Peregrine nest box  |

Heh heh!
I used to bang on about the Bristol Peregrines too when I lived there!
First time I saw a Peregrine in a city was in Bristol, and I used to spend days at the Clifton suspension Bridge watching them. (From the White Lion Hotel Bar Balcony of course!)
As for sponsoring Peregrines - try the Hawk conservancy at Weyhill, near Andover. I'm sure they'd do a scheme like that, or come up with something similar (and better probably) if they don't presently.
You can find the Hawk Conservancy on the web.
A fabulous place...
Cheers

I love peregrine falcons, partly because they are the fastest birds in the world. Did you know that they can reach a top speed of over 200 miles per hour when "stooping" (diving) to catch their prey? | | |
