Absolutely George. It's a dastardly leftist plot to smear right wingers by changing the meaning of words. Alternatively I was just making a point about the stupidity of complaining about the changing meaning of words. I'm sure you're unintelligible word salad will help solve the riddle!

What about male peregrine "3FB" (Stamford 2024) contorting himself as he dives from a church spire after a pesky pigeon?

Excellent peregrine watch at Leicester Cathedral on Tuesday. Here are a few shots from the morning. I also witnessed 2 copulations.

actionable for fraud is not clear of course. (But I do agree government should be interested in it and find out whether or not that data has value we're missing or ignoring but we do need to be aware of the risks and we onlt need to see what ICE are doing to get a taster for the risks.

Adult pair of peregrines seem Colchester City centre on Christmas Day morning. Heard calling around Jumbo and tiercel flew to Town Hall and followed there by falcon. This year's clutch laid on TH but washed away in downpour. TH had refused to accomodate tray and still are demurring to allow.

Stamford’s adult peregrine pair. Both showing clear signs of their moult. In the video note the tiercel has disturbed a lot of wasps as he retrieves the stashed prey.

Also took the chance to see the peregrines on Asda. On Thursday night I saw the tiercel and Friday morning falcon was also visible. Was lucky to find a couple of feathers and 1 I saw falling from the top. The falcon has an orange ring I cannot read

Stamford's tiercel this morning including another death defying dive straight down the spire.
Tiercel peregrine, in the morning sun, on top of an English church spire looks over his right shoulder right into the idiot with the camera's soul!The tiercel dives straight down the spire after a pigeon (missed). His shadow is right underneath him and his right wing is almost scraping the spire

I like this shot of a tiercel peregrine’s shadow this morning as it flew off from a rendezvous with its mate.
A peregrine falcon has taken off in front of a church tower and is flying towards the observer. However the peregrine is not captured rather its shadow. Its wings are wide and the tail fanned open. The shadow dives towards the ground.

Stamford's stunning tiercel (male peregrine) today. One of my favourite shots of him so far. Normally when they fly away they fly up so I have thousands of shots of the underside of his wings so great to see this angle
Stamford's tiercel (male peregrine) flies off from All Saints' church spire on a hunting mission. He's flying downwards to the left of the camera and looking fixedly forward. His angle means we see the top side of his body with both wings fully extended along with his tail like a hand of cards in bridge.

A pair of peregrines attempt copulation but it doesn't happen. Hopefully he'll get his act together soon!

I assumed it was. I just have no idea, nor care to find out, how to find it. I press search and this is what I see. No advanced search button or toggle. I actually just Google Advanced Twitter Search!

Pleased to see a female peregrine at a local site where I’d only ever seen the ringed tiercel. Darker portrait is the tiercel, the other is the unringed falcon with full crop
