Monmouth

A chance encounter with this an immature Peregrine Falcon which had caught a Pigeon, when approached jumped on the front of a car and flew off. 

Investigation with a local monitoring group would suggest this is possible a Wye Vally bred bird and not one of the Symonds Yat birds as this individual is "ringed", apparently the Yat birds are not ringed. There are no jesses evident to suggest this is an escape falconers bird
