A visiting bird of prey has taken a liking to a Hamilton office block, and it’s a good bet that any neighbourhood pigeons are staying out of its way.A juvenile peregrine falcon, the fastest species of bird in the world, has been seen roosting on XL Tower 2, outside the Ernst & Young offices on Bermudiana Road.Falcons are formidable hunters and can have a wingspan of three feet or more. When a peregrine goes into a dive it can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour. The fastest recorded peregrine was recorded dong 248mph no other member of the animal kingdom goes faster.Peregrines are known to visit Bermuda while migrating, however it is less common to have a winter visitor, said Andrew Dobson, president of the Bermuda Audubon Society.“In many large cities like New York it is not uncommon to see peregrines perched on window ledges of skyscrapers,” Mr Dobson said.“A pair of peregrines in London has become a tourist attraction. They return each spring to build a nest high up on the chimney stack above the Tate Modern Museum. Telescopes are trained on the nest to allow the general public to see one of the most thrilling birds of prey.”Although peregrines can touch speeds of 200mph, it is unlikely the current visitor will do so in Bermuda. However, Mr Dobson added: “Hopefully it will reduce the number of feral pigeons in the city.”
