Appeal in Bracknell to find missing kestrel spooked by magpies

The public are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for a kestrel that has been missing for more than two days.

Six-year-old Noddy flew off during an exercise session at Great Hollands recreation ground in Bracknell, Berkshire, on Saturday afternoon and did not return to his falconer.

Angela Norwood, who runs Berkshire Birds of Prey, said Noddy “got spooked” when he was chased by a group of magpies.

She believes he has remained close to the area and has been spotted around Buckler’s Forest nature reserve, The Golden Retriever pub in Nine Mile Ride and, most recently, near Lyon Road in Buckler’s Park.
