Walking from the canal towards the douggie behind the DW Stadium this afternoon, I noticed a flock of pigeons as well as quite a few Black Headed Gulls take to the air(in a bit of a rush) I looked up to see what had startled them only to be more startled myself to see TWO Peregrine falcons in hot pursuit. I stood there in amazement for about three minutes watching them unsuccessfully attack the pigeons and then a Herring Gull decided he was going to have a go at one of them. Eventually one flew off towards Beech Hill and the other departed towards Poolstock both flying off into the distance. Just wish I had had my camera with me as this is the first time I have seen a(2) Peregrine in Wigan
