I didn't see it yesterday, but saying that I was drunk.......

Is that just because Harriers are rarer? Can't see a harrier being more majestic in flight than a Golden Eagle soaring or Peregrine in stoop.....

Yes it was, a lot of people confused it with a pigeon. It's definitely a Peregrine, it still has the brown feathers on the upper wings so it's only an immature one. Most likely an offspring of the RSCH pair.

Literally just as half time whistle blew one landed on the big white support in WSU that sticks out above D block. Can't see if it has jesses on or not but if it's a wild one it is an important landmark and mile stone for our stadium!!!
