Thanks Grace and Uilleam. Birdwatching has been a lifelong fascination for me, so using the falconer’s lure as a metaphor here.

Thank you Tim.
Our town hall keeps the pigeons under control by encouraging peregrine falcons to nest in its heights.

At the same time, the authorities turn a blind eye to the illegal poisoning and trapping of them and of raptors such as the Hen Harrier, by grouse breeders / shooters.

Anything whatsoever to do with birds and/or poetry Tim and I'm your Gal but as to the question posed in your last line, I'm as clued up as the next person. Thank you for this sir, but watch you don't get too dizzy doing the whirly teasing! 😁
