The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre CIC recently experienced the theft of two of its birds, though one has since been recovered, according to the centre’s owner. Between 17:00 GMT on Thursday and 07:00 on Friday, a gyr falcon and a striated caracara were stolen from the rescue facility located at Winnards Perch in Cornwall.
The gyr falcon, which the centre refers to as Arizona, was discovered on Saturday beside the road opposite a layby at Winnards Perch.

She also expressed her belief that those responsible for the theft must have had an intimate knowledge of the site, as they managed to avoid all CCTV cameras in the area.
Devon and Cornwall Police have urged anyone with information or witnesses to come forward to assist with the investigation. The rescue centre extended its thanks via social media to people who reported sightings of the gyr falcon and noted appreciation for drivers who stopped their vehicles to allow the bird to be safely caught after it was found.
