periguin Falcons are a quite common sight around Dublin these days feeding on ferral pigeons, however they can be persecuted for feeding on racing pigeons, if anyone knows the where abouts of Falcon nests I'd advice they keep it to themselves.

I could be wrong, because I didn't get a really good look at it, but I recently saw what looked like a falcon-like bird in Kilmacud, which is not far from Dún Laoghaire.

The peregrine population is on the up around Dublin. I know of two definite nest sites and at least two more possible ones in the city centre!!
