Why Peregrines?

 Peregrines have experienced a dramatic Population decline caused by contaminants.  Today peregrine populations have recovered and expanded into new habitats.  Good distribution across Europe.  Vicinity to human settlements.  Many nests are easy to access and observe.  High popularity in the public and can promote citizen science.  Top predators, preying on resident and migrating birds.

Peregrine specifics

  • Over 99 % avian prey
  • Timing of breeding activity shifted

with latitude

  • Sampling possibilities
  • Main Contaminants
  • Intentional Poisoning
  • Carefull with precise indication of

location: Poachers!

  • Public attention
