Quote from: RCF on March 29, 2020, 16:02We have a female as of today, but I am not sure who. I never got a look to see if she has a band. She is not very accommodating. This bird has a lot of speckles on her breast whereas Hurricane only has a few. In some photos it looks like her and others not so much! Looks like your visitor is unbanded .... just to make things interesting There was an unbanded female who visited at this time of the year back in 2017 I believe .... the year we pulled all the sticks out of the nestbox ... I think it was that year at least ...

Wingo is a stunning looking falcon.
Oh I'm so glad you had her return date - I couldn't find it anywhere in my records!! And yes, the 29th is early for her ... did Wingo turn up before or after? I have this vague memory they arrived about the same time ... but I may be mixing it up with another year and another male ...
Now we just need Hurricane to arrive home ... she was hatched in 2007 so while she is an older bird her mother Princess proved 13 isn't old either!!May be a longer wait than we'd like however - Hurricane has never (as I recall) been an early bird in the spring!!
