does anyone know where the hunting ground for the falcons is and also who can tell me where the adult male has gone to?

[VC57UK]

The Derby birds range out a few miles in any direction, often along the River Derwent corridor. Only rarely do they hunt right over the city centre. The male is still around - he brought food back to a juvenile yesterday who had returned to its nest ledge. He often goes off hunting for long periods, whilst the adult female seems to spend more time around her young.

its nice to see such a graceful animal in a calmer state than its usually prstrayed as a dive bombing killer but dont get me wrong those are cool too =P

does anyone know if these falcons have names or not becuase i think the one in this video should be called grevious (as in general grevious from star wars episode 3) becuase it's call sounds like an old man cophing (pardon my spelling)
