fastbob Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 No not a new bike . Today I was treated to the remarkable spectacle of a falcon calmly devouring a pigeon right in the middle of a busy shopping area ( Shelton Square Coventry ) It didn't seem bothered by people , including myself, walking up and filming it .

Their turn will come . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhawk Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Resident falconer here, that's a female sparrowhawk. I've hunted with one in the past, absolute murderous little bast*rds despite their small size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got paid once to count dead pigeons on Liverpool docks. I had to paint them yellow to make sure they stayed dead and didn't get counted twice. So I believe myself to be an expert on the species.
