When the chicks get bigger then the female joins in the hunting too.<BR/>Ash: re. facing in or out: I'm not sure why they often face in - it may be more comfortable with their tails not catching on the tray contents perhaps?<BR/>Obviously they have very mobile necks and can turn round to look outwards even if they are facing inwards.....generally they prefer to face into any wind so I suspect they only face inwards in the absence of any wind on that side of the tower....room for some research here I think!<BR/>Nick Brown (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-19940206669406227772009-03-03T13:56:00.000+00:002009-03-03T13:56:00.000+00:00Could some one from the project tell me if the fal...Could some one from the project tell me if the falcon or the tiercel is doing the most hunting?
