They have killed more than a 100 since they were introduced in 2003 and scared away 1000s. I wrote a blog about this a while ago. There is a big debate about how much the 2 Trafalgar square hawks cost but the mayor justifies it with reduced poop cleaning costs.

This is a far better way of solving the overpopulation of pigeons than having to reduce them by other means. We've had a pereguine falcon reducing some of the pidgeons locally. One of the youngsters from a breeding pair on the Derby catherdral. I have been watching the pair right from laying the eggs to when the babies have taken flight. It's been great to watch them on the cameras they have erected on the tower. Lindak,
What else?

He's banded.......so someone owns these hawks and their job is to scare pigeons in the city? That's amazing. Great shot ! I wonder if he ever catches one.
