Dougy Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just been watching a dog fight against a Peregrine and Buzzard. The Buzzard was stuck motionless on the thermals and the Peregrine was tormenting it from above,below and any which way. Size difference is silly to pick a fight, but I'm sure the Peregrine knew its boundaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by someone that knows that the peregrine is pretty dumb, they rely on their speed rather than their wits. 30 something years ago I was at the top of Beeston Castle and was looking down on a buzzard and peregrine scrapping. Back then buzzards were as rare a sight as peregrines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsZeppelin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I bet that was a sight. I saw some jackdaws trying to chase off a buzzard recently. Jackdaws often scrap with the local redkites, so I assumed they now have an inflated ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouser Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I remember a good few years ago, a peregrine had a nest in a church spire, I used to watch it coming and going, one day heard this screaming looked up to see the peregrine latched on to the back of a seagull, after a few seconds it let go of a very distressed seagull.
