Greetings, fellow home-birders.

Just now I'm reading a reprint of Heatherley's 1913 "Peregrine Falcon at the Eyrie" (also viewable at—

https://archive.org/stream/cu31924084757206/cu31924084757206#page/n51/mode/1up

). Records by observers of this breeding pair report the tiercel as the main carer of the nest-young. (Odd & instructive characterisations of the falcon also appear, inconsistently, & in line with the confused contemporaneous human-social morés around females.)

The location of this study is discreetly blurred, but could've been Scotland.

Anyone know if tiercels are usually the main brooders, carers, & providers of UK peregrine young at the eyrie, once the falcons have laid?
