Birds of prey now patrolling Chelmsford station

Greater Anglia has enlisted the help of birds of prey at Chelmsford station to deter pigeons.

A trained hawk and falcon have recently been patrolling Chelmsford station to provide natural pest control.

The hawk and falcon are accompanied by a professional falconer from NBC Environment.

Krzysztof Drozd, Facilities Contracts Manager at Greater Anglia, said:

“The use of Hawks is a brilliant, non-harmful way to naturally deter pigeons and create a better environment for our passengers."
