Falcon at Clyde Dam

Post by ledzep »

Excellent views of a Falcon sitting on the railings beneath the Clyde dam, before it flew off underneath one of the penstocks. I don't think this is a roosting or nesting place, but the area has lots of tasty feral pigeons so is probably a good site for an easy meal. The workers at the power station said that the Falcon "is often around".
