Peregrines delight visitors to Dare Valley

Four peregrine chicks have successfully hatched at Dare Valley Country Park, Aberdare. A surveillance operation was put in place at the beginning of the breeding season, to protect this persecuted bird from wildlife criminals.

The nest camera was set up for a dual purpose. To act as a deterrent to anyone who intended to interfere with the nest (the site had a history of poisoning attempts from pigeon fanciers) but also to educate and inform the local people of the surrounding area on the persecution issues that the peregrine faces. Perhaps more importantly, to promote interest in the birds and to enjoy seeing them develop and to try and gain some sort of local community ownership to the birds so they become more protected.

The nest site was about 1.5 Km from the visitor centre. Two sets of VideoWave transmitters and receivers were used as there was no clear "line of site". The equipment was battery powered and two different frequencies were used.
