\"Peregrine<\/a><\/p>\n

The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus<\/em>) is included in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (1994) as a vulnerable species, and has the status of \u2018Least Concern\u2019 in the Red List of IUCN\/Birdlife (2004). In the new edition of the Red Data Book (in print) it is referred as \u2018rare\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second half of the 20th<\/sup> century was characterized with a catastrophic decrease of species numbers in all parts of the range especially in the Mediterranean area. As a result in 1980s the Peregrine population in Ukraine reached its minimum equaling to about 15-20 pairs. However already since 1980s the population showed a restoration trend in the Crimea. In the end of the 20th<\/sup> century and in the beginning of the 21st<\/sup> century the increase rate of numbers was rather high (as for such a rare species). This process attracted attention of ornithologists from Ukraine and recently three groups of specialists have published 3 papers, which we present below to download. All of them mutually complete each other and allow to receive quite a full image of the current status of the Peregrine Falcon in Ukraine. The numbers of breeding birds in the Crimea were estimated by V.N. Kucherenko and S.Yu.Kostin (2003) as 50-55 pairs, M.M.Beskaravainy and A.N.Tsvelykh (2009) \u2013 about 70 pairs, V.V.Vetrov, S.P.Prokopenko and Yu.V.Milobog (2009) about 105\u2013110 pairs and additive 10-15 pairs in the Carpathians.<\/p>\n

Thus, the Peregrine Falcon still remains a rare bird in Ukraine requiring all the protection. Today the Carpathian population of the peregrine is the least known. Any find of a nest is of undoubted interest. Also there are poor data on breeding of the Peregrine Falcon in cities all over Ukraine; such cases of breeding are informed from time to time but they are not proved. And, at last, since 1960s any case of the Peregrine Falcon’s nesting on a tree has not been known. <\/strong><\/p>\n
