it belongs to the station… (is employed on behalf of the station)
I didn’t know Cambridge trains stopped at Alexandra Palace.
Looks more like a Harris Hawk to me.
A few years ago I remember they were trialling the use of trained birds of prey to keep pigeons away from railway stations. Maybe they’ve started doing it again?
Just there doing it’s job hunting sky rats.
They use them for pigeon clearance
Recruited for its pigeon-pummelling duties.
Its not an eagle, its a member of staff. There is a falconer that covers at least Kings Cross and St Pancras, they might be indie but they use the birds to scare away pigeons. Look on the balcony for the handler.
looks like he’s landed
It’s not lost, it’s obviously getting the 13:57 to Cambridge – just waiting for the platform to be announced.
Going to be some nervous handbag dogs on the commute
It’s just doing its work
They do this in Canary Wharf. Supposed to scare the pigeons and gulls.
Kez ya bastard!
Nah, just for crowd control. But you don’t have to worry unless you’re a pigeon.
Have you tried asking it instead of posting on Reddit?
Urgh, someone’s in trouble once they get to platform 9 3/4 and realize it’s gone
