Dunno if it was a kestrel or peregrine but we in the East Stand were watching it tucking in up in the rafters. With the occasional feather gently floating down, we were all wondering when its prey was actually going to tumble onto an unsuspecting fan below. Something startled it however and it took off, only for it to drop it onto the pitch. Bound to appear on a "what happened next" quiz sometime.

I think it was last season or the season before that we saw it doing the same.

Two peregrines live in the East Stand apparently.

We need to start charging them rent to help pay our loan off. Free loaders.

Saw this as well chasetown and thought the same. One thing that I was surprised about was the amount of time it took for someone to stroll on and get the bird. It gave Derby the opportunity to recover and get fluids on board and broke our concentration.

Took at least 5 mins I reckon, then only 6 mins added. Who did that maths? 1 minute for all other stoppages and 8 subs!

As I said to my lad at the time it was all more entertaining than we were.
