Without doubt, this Peregrine hunt was the best I've ever witnessed.
Their behavior prior to this was relaxed, preening and gazing over the river. I watched as the male took to the skies and begin gaining height. As he ascended higher into the sky, I knew he was hunting. During the ascent, he didn’t flap his wings once, instead circling, using the thermals to conserve energy.
He then began flapping fast from left to right in one direction and was clearly after something. The white feral pigeon came into my viewfinder and the chase started. It lasted 59 seconds, far longer than any attack I have witnessed before.
The female then joined the chase, but against all the odds the pigeon managed to swerve and avoid the relentless stoops from the Peregrine pair, as they returned to the cliffs empty handed.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I read each and every one! I witnessed another Peregrine hunt last year, although that time it was successful, catching the pigeon only one hundred metres away from me - watch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-scuJYfYYsew.htmlsi=503xM7lOuqsjt_b_

Never underestimate the perfection of the pigeon. Agility and resistance make it a very difficult prey. A healthy wild pigeon is a tough prey and the film proves it

@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne 17 дней назад

Never underestimate the stupidity of a pigeon either. They fly directly in front of cars. SPLAT.

@AlessandroPasotti 17 дней назад

The pigeon evolved in the absence of cars, therefore it does not always know how to evaluate danger. Generally it is young pigeons that fall victim to our frenzy. In reality, the pigeon has benefited greatly from the wild anthropisation of the planet by invading man. It is in nature that the pigeon reveals all its potential through which nature has evolved it. The pigeon is the perfect bird and human parameters have no value...

@bitsbobs5509 19 дней назад

The rock dove, aka pigeon, has evolved to stay just out of reach of the peregrine who had to evolve a strategy to catch them ie the stoop from above. Pigeons are more manoeuvrable than falcons hence the fantastic ‘dog fights’ we sometimes witness. Remember, no city pigeons means no city peregrines. Long may both grace our skies and thanks you Henry for putting this film together, keep it up. 👏

Superbly done Henry 👏 I watched this on my iPhone and then cast it to my tv to see the build up of the battle in detail. It makes you aware that the hunting of a pigeon (unless taken by surprise) is a battle and not just a single attack. They have to work hard for their calories and calculate the whole fall from their initial stoop right down to the trees. Amazing to see how skilled the pigeon is, fighting for its life. Natural selection in action here. Well done, good sound track too. Thank you!

I’ve spent over 40 years watching peregrines in the southwestern USA, hunting off cliffs ranging from 100 m high to almost 800 m. 2,600 feet American. These two peregrines were not serious about catching that pigeon. They were playing, practicing, &/or bonding. If they were even slightly hungry, that pigeon would have been caught. I watch peregrines taking white-throated swifts, which are much faster and more maneuverable than any pigeons. And much less meat. Peregrines hit them so hard they sometimes cut them in two, then grab the pieces as they fall.

Wonderful footage! I used to watch these Avon Gorge peregrines hunting every summer and I was amazed at their teamwork strategy. I would often see the tiercel pursuing prey and then the female would just appear like a missile, you'd see a puff of feathers and then the one closest to the prey would fly off with it to their plucking post. We did see the tiercel catch a swift once (which I thought would be impossible), but just goes to show how fast they really are!

Very dramatic, amazing to see the whole hunt. I help run the Cromer Peregrine watchpoint, so many times the Peregrines launch opportunistic attacks on the pigeons around the church, and they almost always evade the Peregrines, and yet I have seen Peregrines take pigeons with the greatest of ease, taking the bird at the the very first strike. It's so rewarding to show these fabulous birds to the general public. Keep on producing these fantastic films!

@henrykirkwoodfilmmaking 15 дней назад

Thanks so much for your comment, Julian. Funnily enough, I had the Cromer Peregrine live cam on in the background this morning! Interesting observation about the peregrines hunting opportunistically, I know they hunt in this way but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it at my local watch point. They always circle strategically way up into the sky and go after their prey that way. Sounds like you’re doing good work with the public, thanks again for the comment!

@mermaid10x 18 дней назад

We have peregrine falcons that hunt the birds in our yard. Sometimes there’s feathers on the ground in the morning of some hapless mourning dove or other bird. I once had a small bird pass by my face so close I felt the wind from its feathers as a falcon was in hot pursuit and brushed past my face a microsecond later rolling over and clutching the smaller bird in its talons. All this happened right in front of my face which although cruel in the death of the smaller bird was also fascinating to witness. Big red tailed hawks nest year after year nearby in addition to the swainsons hawk and prairie falcons. I have observed America kestrels nearby and very rarely snowy owls very early in spring. Our home in south east British Columbia is home to so many birds of all types that it provides endless hours of fascination for me. Tanagers, American gold finches, lazuli buntings, caisons finch, western blue birds, western meadow larks, northern flickers, Pygmy owls and occasional yellow winged black birds visit the pond for baths and drinks. Luckily the hawks don’t concentrate their hunting in the yard because it certainly dampens the bird activity till they’re gone.

I saw one of the nesting peregrines take out a pigeon in a high speed dive off the top of the US Bank building (42 stories) in Portland, Oregon in 1995. He or she hit it at about the 7th floor above the sidewalk. Amazing! The pigeon never had a chance, never even knew what hit it. Seeing that was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life. The only reason I saw it was that I was about a block away and I don't think that anybody that was underneath the pigeon walking on the sidewalk even knew what happened either.

Nice one, Henry! I must apologise - I do not know where 'James' came from. Goodness me. I watch for these most days and see them a couple of times a week. My first sighting was a wonder to behold, and it contained all the major dramatic parts. The static, motionless hover up high, the intense scrutiny, dinner observed, then the stoop. He came down one day and I couldn't see any prey, until a pigeon, obviously caught unawares and in a flat panic flew up and tried to evade the Peregrine's lightning arc. They both vanished down below the visible land and nothing reappeared, so I guess dinner was enjoyed. The other day, he was up there watching and wheeling alone, when a buzzard loped into the picture. The Peregrine got the total hump, he'd already put some time in and now this thing turns up looking for some easy pickings. He started arcing and flashing around the larger bird who barely flicked a feather..👍

@tommyrq180 19 дней назад

The Peregrine couple didn’t know they were dealing with a pigeon with a g-suit and high-g wing struts! That was a classic bird version of BFM (basic fighter maneuvers). But I’m a bit doubtful about whether this was hunting. My understanding is that Peregrines generally attain attack altitude and “stoop” into a dive, just one, that’s designed to actually directly impact the bird from above, not fly behind it and attempt to grab as these did. The Peregrine basically hits and disables the bird and grabs it when it spirals to the earth. Regardless, a very dramatic film! At my Alma mater, the Air Force Academy, our mascot was the Peregrine falcon and we had cadets who tended the falcons and trained them to entertain at halftime of football games. One year USAFA played a football game in Japan and the falcons entertained as usual. But one of them “flew away” (the cadets always chanted “fly away” in hopes they would escape) and despite locators, could not be found and was feared lost. But that enterprising falcon basically few east and later landed on an east-bound freighter far at sea in the Pacific. The crew contacted someone who contacted someone else and eventually, believe it or not, that falcon was eventually recovered by the Academy! USAFA falconry program details here: www.usafa.edu/natures-fighter-pilots-attract-attention-of-future-cadets/

@henrykirkwoodfilmmaking 19 дней назад

Amazing story, thanks for sharing! Peregrine's don't adopt the same hunting strategy during each hunt, they adapt. They do stoop and hit at speed like you said (although I still have never seen this), but I have seen them take prey by simply flying behind them and catching them up. They were definitely trying to catch the pigeon, as on a few occasions they stretched out their talents in an attempt to grab it. If they were juveniles, then the likelihood is this would have been a mock hunt, practicing only. Thanks for watching.
