Wasn't at the game yesterday but have seen it at two games this season. Wonderful sight.
I don't remember posting this
Must have been drunker than I thought yesterday afternoon and standard of post is shocking.
You have got 4 thumbs up.
I've just logged on to catch up and saw the notifications. And thought what the hell are they for? I haven't posted anything for ages...

Did you actually see the Falcon?

Yep. You can tell it from a mile off.
Interestingly I've just seen a Sparrowhawk over my parents house in Woodingdean which is awesome.
In Burgess Hill in the woods not far from our place I took my daughter on a night walk with a torch and saw a Tawny Owl in a tree.
Saw my first Kestrel in a while along the Falmer Road last weekend too.
There is also a pair of Buzzards that must nest close as they're always low over the house on a regular basis.
Birds of Prey seem to be thriving in Sussex!

If you were that pissed, it could have been anything. Like a pigeon or something. Or a crow.
I did see a bird fly up to the roof supports in the WSU, think this was half time, I couldn’t see exactly where it went as it was further along the stand from where I sit.
I regularly see Buzzards and Kestrels between Newhaven and Lewes, also had a Sparrowhawk in my garden a few times.

Lots of Buzzards around the edges of Brighton now, but not so many Kestrels. I've had a sparrowhawk with ideas above it's station take out a pigeon and a dove in my garden over the course of this summer (think I put pictures on NSC) and even saw a Red Kite up by Ditchling Beacon.
I've seen the Peregrine sitting above the WSU at the Amex a few times (agree it's very distinctive) and I know they tend to go for cliffs and high buildings, so wonder if it may actually nest somewhere round the Amex ?
