Fresh out this afternoon our paper on where Peregrine chicks in the west, including S Glos, go after they fledge! We’ve been colour ringing chicks since 2007 and heard back from 66 birds. It’s open access so you can all download it. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03078698.2022.2150783
