Peregrine Story in Poland

At the beginning of the 20th century, Peregrine Falcon was a widespread species in the whole territory of Poland, however not numerous. It was met most often on territory of Warmia and Mazury (N-E Poland). Polish pre-war literature about Peregrine Falcon’s presence is scanty, but after the 2nd World War information about this species is scanty as well. Poland was a centre for tree-nesting population, which original area starts in the N-E Germany and covers lowlands of Belarus and central Russia.
