BLACK W F Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Has anybody experienced a peregrine return to a kill they have been chased of? well thats a trick question ;)
peter dempsey Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 it all depends on what you use to chase them ? regards
ally mac Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 Just wondering if I chased it of the doo would it come back the next day or so to let me get a closer look at it , I know sparrow hawks return to their kill but didnt think it was the same with percy

Just trying to plan ahead incase it happens again. Had the birds out this morning and all was quiet, had the ybs too which was good. Starting to fly well.
Guest wattle Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Has anybody experienced a peregrine return to a kill they have been chased of? percy flys away with his dinner in it,s claws, normaly.
ally mac Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 percy flys away with his dinner in it,s claws, normaly. I know pal but I had one chase a doo into a window the other night, the doo died outright and percy was sitting on it in the neighbours garden. Also had one hit a roller years ago, was told they clench their front tallons to punch the doo and their back tallon rips the doo open. The roller landed in the garden with its neck ripped open. I binned it so dont know if it might have come back. Al.
soapy Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 peregrines do come back gives you the chance to trap or give it some medication

Al. lucky to have a mate whos a gamekeeper,asked him a question if percy only takes birds in the dive. just laughed at me and said if your dinner was sitting on the ground not looking would you rather chase one than have one not alert.hes also seen them chase there prey and catch them,younger percys hunt buy all methods .untill they master the skydive
