Is there any bird it couldn't kill if it wanted to...... Watched one take out a herring gull a few years ago. It was on a power station and I think the gull had strayed to close to the peregrine’s nest on a cooling tower. Amazing sight. I’ve seen them stoop and chase prey, and seen them carrying caught prey, but that’s the only strike I’ve ever actually seen. The gull never knew what hit it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
