woodcock are forrest dwelling birds and normally on ground and find it a bit strange a perigrine taking prey at night  :-/unless it was hand fed it ????

Agree with you, 20-odd seconds was my limit. Thought they decapitated, that one did seem to be pinching spinal column behind the head, but did expect that would start death throws? Maybes movement was that?

Wondered same Sammy. Few birds fly after dark?

[Guest bigda]

happy to know the hen is still active and not down on eggs yet, but will be fattning up   hope to find her  some thing to eat,  racing pigeons are no good as  she  cant catch them,   wonder what to  give her, must see if i can catch a streeter as  nobody  bothers  much about them  getting killed,  after all there loads of them,  as  every  one   says  they are only fling rats
