We moved here a year ago last weekend from the west side of Calderdale to the Isle of Man.
While i was in Calderdale i was involved with the Calderdale Bird Conservation Group.
A big part of there work is trying to look after Raptors that breed on the Moors around Halifax.
A lot of Raptor persecution goes on with nests being robbed and birds being poisoned.
CBCG has invested in cameras for nests and even tries to get the nestlings ringed.
I was checking out the Isle of Man ringing data on the BTO website last night and was
amazed to see that the remains of a raptor was found on the Calf of Man on the 12 October 2010
by the warden.
The ring number was sent to the BTO with species unknown
They came back with
Female Peregrine ringed as a chick on 06/06/2007
in,
wait for it
Calderdale about 6 miles from where i used to live and know the site very well.

Shame about the state of the bird but a good bit of movement
